how to use "be used to" and "used to"? and how to differenciate it?
"Used to" refers to something that was true in the past but no longer is:
- We USED TO be friends, but we can't stand each other now.
- I USED TO be the captain of the team, but Jo has taken my place.
- Jo doesn't snore now, but she USED TO.
Basically, "be (some form of it) used to" means "accustomed to or familiar with":
- Having grown up in Norway, I am USED TO cold weather. ("Be" was conjugated to "am.")
- Many students in Asia are USED TO studying 15 hours a day. ("Be" was conjugated to "are.")
- She is USED TO my bad jokes, so they don't bother her anymore. ("Be" was conjugated to "is.")
- We USED TO be friends, but we can't stand each other now.
- I USED TO be the captain of the team, but Jo has taken my place.
- Jo doesn't snore now, but she USED TO.

Would you please give me options of any books which i can improve my english ? And my question is correct or not ? :)
"Could you advise which grammar books I should read to improve my English?" is a better way to phrase that question.
Hmm ... to be honest, we don't read grammar books, so we have no idea which ones are good. (That's one of the reasons why we're writing our own book.)
