This English lesson outlines the difference between “used to” and “I’m used to”. I’m used to hearing ESL students confusing these two, so watch this lesson and learn the difference!

Hi James
Today I have known a more way to use the verb Ving. The understanding of the using of the verb Ving is very difficult to me. I hope you can do other videos about this matter.
Your lesson are always very interesting and useful to me.
Thanks a lots

Dear James
I have written a few times for you but I hadn’t have a luck to talk to you yet.
Here is my question, please let me know.
Int he below paragraph why don’t we say ” students are confusing or confused) the word confusing is it a gerund or present participle (verbal). Verbals are the most confusing sections in English grammar.

hey James! nice lesson but I have a question, why do you use the ING with the verbs if u have “TO” so the first thing I do to set a verb in gerund is eliminate the “to” so I think you must say I’m used to work everyday “not Working”
you have my e-mail so
write to me please as sonn as posible. thanks!!!
Hello Mr. James
I just wanna know if this sentence is correct:
She was used to doin the chores around the house but then she had to got to used to doing nothing. (i’m not the one who gave this example yet I think there’s something wrong)
pls help. >_<
I have two questions of using “Negative” with used to :
(1) I used to go to school earlier. –> I didn’t use to go to school earlier? or I used to not go to school earlier? (which one is correct?)
(2)I am used to dressing up–> I am not used to gressing up or I am used to not gressing up? (which one is correct?) Please kindly advise with thanks
I have a question, but first I’d like to say that I am loving the lessons, it is really helping me, however, you did one thing that I noticed I don’t know.
You put “to wearing”, and I couldn’t understand why, I would probably put “to wear”, could you explain me that.
Hi james..

hi, i saw this video and i understood a thing u didn’t mention/ that’s how to make it negative for (( i used to)). it’s really essential to know . if it’s possible plz replace the video it new corrected to avoid teaching impair. tanx
Hi James!
Can you please confirm the negative and interrogative forms of “I USED TO “? E.g I used to play => “I DIDN’T USED TO PLAY” and “DID YOU USED TO PLAY” ? Is it correct?
I want to answer your question, Milly. You can’t say “I DIDN’T USED TO PLAY”, the right form is “I DIDN’T USE TO PLAY”.and about the question “DID YOU USED TO PLAY” -it’s not correct, the right form is “DID YOU USE TO PLAY?”
James, you got me little confused with
I used to(present)
I thought it was past.
you lesson are funny, but if you can clear this to me, I will be tankful.
wud u plss tell me the interrogative sentence using this “used to”. i mean if i want to ask sumone if he or she was used to doing sumthing then how can i ask
let me be honest with you i did not understand this lesson in the first time but when i watch it again it was very clear for me, so it is not difficult but we have to be attentions>>>> thank you Mr.jemes
what does this structure mean?At first,she was surprised at all the different people in New York.Now she hardly notices them.she{IS Use to Seeing} a lot of different kinds of people.
James.. I have to say that your lesson was fantastic.. I showed it to my students as an extra and follow up to our ‘used to’ lesson(teaching at a language school down under!) and they loved it. I was pleased to see someone else as silly as I sometimes can be.. it’s usually responded to in a positive way, and they all had a good chuckle at the underwear bit. I’m sure most of them will be trying out your website again, and just wanted to say thanks for the inspiration to use fun examples… loved it! cheers!
I just want to say how happy I am to be one of your students :) I want to mention something really important in learning any thing even in different fields! I want to say that the way of teaching is really important! and that’s what I find here with you teacher :) I feel like I’m studying English with my friend :) Thanks for all your efforts

Thanks James, it’s cool.
I didn’t know the form “I’m used to V-ing”.
Hi James,
I really confuse with the construction of:
S + V2B + used + to + Ving.
ex: I am used to working …
I thought after the preposition to, it was not correct to put Ving.
Could you be so kind to give more information about that?
Thanks in advance
Did you watch the lesson or did you not? JAMES says you can say that sentence you putt… so that mean you can say it. Stupid!
DogMan — you can reply to other students, but please do not insult them! You make mistakes too; everyone does. There are even some mistakes in your comment here. Let’s all just be friends!
sorry your grammar is wrong…
Thanks Dogman
am ,is ,are ….these are v2b
Thanks a lot for the explanation!!!!!
Really good and clear
I think this is the answer I was looking for
Why do we use -ing for a verb after be used to? Because we always use -ing for a verb after a preposition – and the to is a preposition
Hi , James . I’m Shun.There is something
I really need to ask about.
I’m not pretty sure how the word ”used to”
So can you please define it for me ?
thanks james. very helpful video
i am a broken english person, and i
always dream i wish my english is perfect
so thank you very much…pls post more video
Dear Jmaes,
Elaborate more on word ” TO BE ”.
Its really confussing.
I watched the complete chapter but you expalined little about
” TO BE ”.
So, please give us some more examples.
Thanks teacher for all this information.
