*📚Used to*
*I used to do something*.
We use this structure to talk about something or an event which happened in the past but no longer happens.
👉I used to eat fatty foods.
🔴 *Used to + infinitive is always past*. There's no present.
You can't say 'I use to do' for present, use the present simple(I do)
Past👉He used to smoke
Present 👉He smokes
*I am used to something* = it's not strange or new for me.
Notice that *To* in *be used to* is a preposition, not a part of the infinitive. So, what follows it is a noun or a gerund (verb+ing)
👉I am used to cold weather.
🔴The structures and meanings are different
*Compare those two examples :*
👉I am used to living alone. It means that I don't find it strange or new for me to live alone because I've been living alone for some time.
👉I used to live alone ( I lived alone but I no longer live alone .)
