The difference between 'used to' and 'be used to' and 'get used to'

The podcast episode explores the differences between 'used to', 'be used to', and 'get used to'. 'Used to' is used to describe actions that happened regularly in the past but do not happen now, or to refer to past situations that are no longer true. 'Be used to' indicates familiarity and comfort with something due to prior experience, while 'get used to' describes the process of becoming familiar with something. 'Be used to' and 'get used to' can be followed by either the pronoun 'it' or the ing form of a verb. Another distinction is that 'used to' is only used for the past, while 'be used to' and 'get used to' can be used in the present, past, or future. Additionally, the forms of questions, short answers, and negatives differ between the three phrases.
