Dear Mr. Micawber,
Thanks.
In your reply, you have high-lighted a few words.
But you haven’t given any explanations.
Will you please explain me with details since
I am not expert as you expected?
Yours truly,
Er.S.M.M.Hanifa.

Respected Micawber,

  1. She is used to get up early.
    How is No:1 sentence incorrect?
    When we change as “She used to get up early.”
    how does it become correct?
  2. She is used to getting up early.
    But No:2 sentence is correct. When use get instead of
    getting, it becomes wrong. What is the grammatical rule
    involved in this problem.
    Could you please explain me to understand the problem?
    Thanks for your kind help and guidance.
    Yours truly,
    Er.S.M.M.Hanifa.

There are 2 different structures with 2 different meanings, so you must be careful.

1-- Be used to + noun is an expression. ‘Used to’ is an adjective phrase (or adjective + preposition) meaning ‘accustomed to’. It has other similar forms: become used to, get used to.

I am used to getting up early (getting is a gerund)
She never got used to my pranks.
I wish I could become used to the fast pace of life here.

2-- Use(d) + infinitive verb is an idiomatic modal auxiliary verb (with only fragmentary forms) indicating past habit.

I used to smoke heavily, but now I don’t.
I didn’t use to drink heavily, but now I do.
Did you use to / Used you to play truant when you were young?

Well, it’s not my sentence, but you’re right, thank you. I missed it. It should read:

  1. He’s quite used to working hard.
