Thanks James, it’s cool.
I didn’t know the form “I’m used to V-ing”.
Isaac
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!
Thanks Dogman

Thanks a lot for the explanation!!!!!
Really good and clear
Isaac
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
Shun

So can you please define it for me ?

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.

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.
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!
Looking forward to hearing from you.

I’m not used to talking to strange people.

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!!!

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

James,
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.
Thank you for the lessons,
Rafael

nightmarec1
i think you wrong.”i used to” is right but “i used to” is wrong.i think it must be”i use to+v-ing”.i have learnt it for a long time.my teacher also taught me like that”i use to+v-ing”.not like you”i used to + v-ing”
CRAZY
