Question:
DIRECTIONS: Fill in the blank with grammatically correct option. 

I am used to _____ two miles everyday .
Options:
A) walking
B) walk
C) have a walk
D) have walking
Solution:
Ans: (a) Walking

'Be used to':

We use 'be used to + verb-ing' to talk about things which feel normal for us or things that we are accustomed to:

Eg: I'm used to getting up early, so I don't mind doing it (= getting up early is normal for me, it's what I usually do).

      My little daughter is used to eating lunch at noon. So she was grumpy yesterday when we didn't eat until one.


'Used to + infinitive': 

We use this expression to talk about habits or repeated actions in the past which we don't do in the present. We also use it to talk about states in the past which are no longer true. For example: 

Eg: I used to have long hair (but now I have short hair).

      He used to smoke (but now he doesn't smoke).

      They used to live in India (but now they live in Germany).
