Common errors in English: usage of Accustomed and used.

Accustomed ( = used)

Incorrect: They are accustomed with hot weather.

Correct : They are accustomed to hot weather.


Incorrect : I am not accustomed for getting up So early. 

Correct : I am not accustomed to getting up So early. 


Note: The adjective ‘used’ is also followed by ‘to’. 


For example: 
He was used to smoking.


But when ‘used to’ is used as a modal, it is followed by an infinitive. 

For example: 
He used to smoke. 
They used to visit me Regularly.
