To be + subject + used to + [verb + ing]/pronoun/noun phrase + …?
Na primer:
— “Are you used to having breakfast early in the morning?” = Sprašujemo, ali je zajtrkovanje zgodaj zjutraj navada osebka ali ne.
NOTE: Ne mešajmo s to use to, ki se lahko pojavlja zgolj v povedih, ki so že v preteklem času.
Na primer:
— “Are you used to have breakfast early in the morning?” = To be used to uporabimo zato, da vprašamo, ali je osebek zdaj navajen na dejanje.
♦ “Did you use to have breakfast in the morning?“= To use to uporabimo zato, da vprašamo, ali se je dejanje zgodilo v preteklosti, glede na to, da se zdaj ne dogaja več (“Did you used to have breakfast early in the morning?” = Pretekli čas je tu že prikazan z did).
