USED TO/ BE USED TO

Spanish speakers always get confused with these expressions.
When we are talking about the past we use USED TO
Eg. I used to go to school, lessons used to start at eight thirty....

But if you talk about the present you can’t say

I use to 

Instead I usually have zoom lessons

TO BE USED TO. Estoy acostumbrado

I am used to have a cup of coffee when I get up.

You can use it in any tense changing the verb to be followed always by used +to
I was used to... 
I have been getting used to

Are there things that have changed in your routine? 

What did you use to do? 

What are you getting used to do now?

Please send a post and let me know!
