Used to do vs. Be used to

Example 1: The MyEC photo gallery used to be a place where members could upload as many photos as they wanted with little or no effort. Now it is a moderated section with guidelines members have to follow. Thanks to these changes the photo gallery has become a useful place for self-study.Example 2: Nadiyah is used to deleting photos that do not meet the photo guidelines. She has been volunteering as a photo moderator for many months now.Example 3: My son didn't use to like learning his letters. Now he loves to draw and learn.Learn more about the differences between used to do and be used to here.

    • @Nida
      You don't need "was" before used to. "My school used to.."
      Also check your use of "it's" vs. its.

      "I'm used to eating dinner at 8:00 pm. I've been doing this since last summer."
      (in the night not necessary because you used PM)
    • Thanks a lot for correction.

      As for as, the use of its and it's is concerned, it was actually a typing mistake, that I made in hurry! (^_^) I know, its is the correct word to use here. Thank you so much that you pointed towards, this mistake of mine.
