English Grammar - Sentence Structure and Transformation

Choose the most suitable option to replace the highlighted part of the sentence: I am used to get up early in the morning.


Choose the most suitable option to replace the highlighted part of the sentence:

I am used to get up early in the morning.

Options:

  1. to get up early
  2. with getting up early
  3. to getting up early
  4. for getting up early

Right Answer: to getting up early

A careful distinction is needed between two structures. 'Used to' followed by the base verb describes a discontinued past habit, as in 'I used to get up early'. 'To be used to' followed by a noun or gerund means to be accustomed to something. The sentence here reads 'I am used ...', which is the second structure, so the preposition 'to' must be followed by the gerund 'getting'. Option three gives 'to getting up early' and is correct. Option one keeps the infinitive, while options two and four replace 'to' with the wrong preposition. Hence option three is correct.
