Choose the correct form to complete the sentence:
The students are used to _____ early for their morning lessons.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. getting up
- Step 1: In "be used to", the word "to" is a preposition, so it is followed by the -ing form: "are used to getting up". Answer: getting up. Why not the others: "Get up" would follow "used to" without "be", which describes a past habit; "got up" and "have got up" are finite verb forms that cannot follow a preposition.
