Please be aware of these two very different verb patterns:
When she was a child, she used to spend her summer holidays in Conil. (=solía) B1
It took me a long time, but I am now used to getting up early on weekdays. (=estar acostumbrado) B2
After a few basic lessons, he quickly got used to typing with all his fingers. (=acostumbrarse) B2
THE FIRST VERB PATTERN IS CONSTRUCTED WITH THE INFINITIVE, THE OTHER TWO WITH THE GERUND! (The presence of the word used in all of them is what may cause confusion.)
