To get used to: sentensi, mazoezi, mitihani na mifano

Get used to tunatumia

Ingawa be used to huelezea hali (“tayari umezoea kitu”), get used to hurejelea mchakato wa kuanza kukizoea kitu. Tunakitumia wakati jambo ni jipya au gumu mwanzoni, lakini polepole huwa la kawaida zaidi.

Muundo huu unaweza kutumika katika nyakati mbalimbali: get / gets used to, am / is / are getting used to, got used to, was / were getting used to, will get used to, na kadhalika.

Wakati wa Sasa Rahisi (get / gets used to) mara nyingi humaanisha “huzoea baada ya muda” (mchakato wa jumla), ilhali Wakati wa Sasa Endelevu (am / is / are getting used to) husisitiza “kuzoea hilo hivi sasa.”

Ni muhimu kutofautisha matokeo na mchakato katika wakati uliopita:
got used to = aliizoea (matokeo),
was / were getting used to = alikuwa / walikuwa wanaizoea (mchakato).

Katika wakati ujao kwa kawaida tunatumia:
will get used to = utaanza kuizoea (mchakato),
will be used to = tayari utakuwa umeizoea (hali).
