school
Note
When we say “ I’m used to
something “, to is a preposition, not
part of infinitive. That’s why we
should say “ Bagus is used to living
far from his parents “ instead of “
Bagus is used to live far from his
parents “.
Next…..
“Be used to”, It means be accustomed to

- She is used to have long flight

the morning
- We are used to spend our vacation
in Bali
