The first one is to be used to something, which means that that thing is not new for you.

For example, I am used to the cold weather means that the cold doesn’t disturb you, it is ok.

But let’s suppose you have always lived in a place where the weather is warm and then you moved to a very cold city and at first it was hard but then you got used to it.

Get used to means to become accustomed to.

So this is what it means to get used to something.

You can also say that you are/got used to doing something. In this case, since you are using a verb, you must put it in the –ing form. For example:

I am used to shooting videos for Inglês de Bolso. It was hard at first but then I got used to it.

DON’T CONFUSE

Be/Get used to with used to. The second structure refers to past habits. I used to travel a lot means that in the past I had the habit of traveling but I don’t anymore.

Ok. Now what?

You know what to do! Get used to it!
