thx for looking

OpenStudy (mathmate):

I think you may have not noticed the last option: "-", which means put nothing. Example: I am used to his temper. That is, without a participle (verb) between "used to" and "his temper". Check that, and post or message if it's not clear.

ok I look.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok function thx.

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Good! You're welcome!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but I dont understand why.

OpenStudy (mathmate):

"Get used to" means familiar with. We can be familiar with a person, his styles, his manners, or we can be familiar with a person's actions. When it is someone, something, we don't need the word between "get used to" and the object (person, manners, etc.) When it is an action, then you need to put a present participle, such as I am used to doing this all by myself (action: doing) I am used to hearing all these speeches (action : hearing) But I am used to his loud voice (object: loud voice, no action) I am used to this country's weather (object: weather, no action). Is this a little better?
