Re: To be used to "to be used to" means to be familiar with something, or a prescribed routine.
Fred was suspicious when his wife gave him ham and eggs for breakfast, as he was used to having cold cereal. "She must want something," he thought.
Roger had a rude surprise when he joined the health spa. He was used to daily exercise, but not a five-mile run at 4 o'clock in the morning! |
