"I used to" vs "I'm used to" - Learn English Grammar

Hello everyone, here is a nice explanation as to how we use these 2 expressions.

Let's watch the video and answer these follow up questions?

So, now that the teacher has clarified to you the meaning and use of "used to" and "I'm used to"tell me:

Being clear and unclear about something

Hello everyone, I hope you are all well.

I've just seen this lesson on BBC Learning English website about Hillary Clint's pneumonia and I decided to share it here because the language is so interesting.

Here are a few words we can use to say that we are being clear about something:

• to be an open book

ex.: My bother is an open book, he has no secrets with his family and they all know what goes on with him

• to lay all your cards on the table

ex.: The couple has decided to lay all their cards on the table and come clean about their dissatisfactions.

• to come clean about something

ex.: After so many lies, the accused thought best to come clean about his crime.
