π Maria's Journal:
"My morning routine is so different now! When I was in college, I ___ sleep until noon every weekend. Those lazy mornings feel like a distant memory. These days, after two years at my new job, I ___ waking up at 6 a.m.βit actually feels normal now!"
Choose the correct pair to fill both blanks:
The correct answer is used to ... am used to.
The first blank requires used to + base verb ("used to sleep") to describe a past habit that no longer exists. The second blank requires be used to + gerund ("am used to waking") to express being accustomed to something. Though both contain "used to," they have different structures and meanings: past habit vs. current familiarity.
