No More Pets For Her
He said, "Maybe someday we'll have a big house and a big yard. Then maybe we can have some pets, too." She said, "I don't want any pets." He asked, "Why not?" She said, "When I was four, I had a beautiful white kitten. It got into bed with me one night. I had already gone to sleep. I rolled over on it. The next morning, I found it lying dead in my bed. Then I had a German shepherd. Her name was Lassie. I loved her so much. But my father said she barked too much. He put her in his car. He drove her to his brother's farm 50 miles away. Three months later, Lassie showed up at our home. She was so skinny and weak. I was thrilled to see her again. But my father wasn't. He put her in the car. I never saw her again."

#Used_to
Let’s start with the last phrase, “used to.”
“Used to” is considered a modal verb, though an unusual one, since it is only found in the past tense.
Choose “used to” to say that something existed or happened repeatedly in the past but does not exist or happen now.
For example, I said, “I used to eat pancakes.” That means I ate them repeatedly in the past but do not anymore.
I used to eat pancakes. I still love them but I don't eat them anymore! What is something you used to eat?
I used to eat pancakes. I still love them but I don't eat them anymore! What is something you used to eat?
The sentence structure for “used to” will always go like this:
subject + used to + base verb
The base form of a verb is its shortest form, with no -s ending.
Look for that structure in these examples, including my own:
I used to eat pancakes. But now I enjoy something lighter, like yogurt and fruit.
Sacha used to live on Atlantic Avenue near Vanderbilt Street.
He didn’t use to believe in ghosts. But he said he saw one at his grandmother's house.
As you just heard, the negative of “used to” is “did not use to” or the more common “didn’t use to.” Notice the word “use” does not end with the letter -d in the negative. That is because “did” is already the past tense.
Be used to
Next, let’s talk about “be used to.”
Choose “be used to” to say you are accustomed to something, and so it seems normal or usual. If you are used to something, it is not difficult, new or strange.
In “be used to,” the verb “be” can take the present, past or future tense (though future is less common). And the words “used to” are an adjective, not a modal verb.
Earlier you heard the present tense “am” in my sentence “I am used to waking at sunrise.” That means I am accustomed to it.
The sentence structure goes like this:
subject + be + used to + gerund, noun or pronoun
In other words, the phrase “be used to” will be followed by some kind of noun – whether gerund or otherwise.
You may remember that a gerund is a kind of noun that ends in i-n-g.
Listen to a few examples, including my own. Pay attention to the verb tense of “be.” And, note that nouns follow “be used to.”
But I've been going to this class for a year now. So I am used to waking at sunrise.
She doesn’t think Dami is strange. She is used to him.
Look, the bird is frightened. It is not used to large crowds.
Notice that the negative for “be used to” is “be not used to.”
School children sit as they form the word "Yoga Day" on the International Yoga Day in Chennai, India.
School children sit as they form the word "Yoga Day" on the International Yoga Day in Chennai, India.
Get used to
And, finally, we have “get used to.”
Remember -- this phrase is related in meaning to “be used to.” The difference is that “get used to” means someone is, was or will become accustomed to something. So, the verb “get” in the phrase can take the present, past or future tense.
For example, I said this about Tania: “She is getting used to the early hours.” That means she is becoming accustomed to being awake in the early morning.
The words “used to” in the phrase “get used to” are also an adjective.
The sentence structure goes like this:
subject + get + used to + gerund, noun or pronoun
Listen for the verb tense of “get” in the following examples. And take note that nouns follow “get used to.”
But after a month of our new routine, she is getting used to the early hours.
I hated this haircut at first. But I got used to it. I like it now!
The baby will not get used to the new sitter. I think she misses her dad.

*EARLY BIRDS vs NIGHT OWLS – EXPLAINED*
Part 2
*6. Decision Making*
If you are a night owl, you can be more spontaneous in your decision-making than morning people. You either do not think much before deciding what to do, or avoiding making decisions altogether.
If you are a morning person, then you might be more prone to deliberating!
*7. Preferred Media*
As a morning person, you seem to prefer getting your news through more traditional channels, for instance by watching TV or reading a newspaper.
And if you are a night owl, you are more likely to watch and read News online. Scientists think that this is because you are ahead of others when it comes to using the newest technologies.
*8. Career Path*
If you are an early bird, you tend to loan toward a more conventional lifestyle. But, if you try to adapt to a present-oriented, risk-taking, late-night lifestyle, you may suffer from fatigue, exhaustion and difficulty keeping your thoughts together.
If you are a night owl you tend to gravitate more toward artistic and entrepreneurial endeavors. But, if you work in a comporate job where early meetings and future-orientation are the rule, your job performance may suffer. This can bring on low self-steem and a general unhappiness with life.
*9. Neworking*
As a night owl, you are more capable of building genuine social networks. This is because most fun events occur in the evenings, and morning people are typically too tired after hours to go for dinner or drinks. This is important if you are in an industry where your networks greatly affect your chance of getting more bussiness. Those who stay most up-to-date and connected with others in their industries are the ones who are most successful at work.
*10. Age*
Your optimal hours might depend on your age. Older people are more likely to be early birds, while younger people tend to enjoy late nights bed times.
Scientists found that this could be due to circadian clocks of skin cells and circadian genes. Elder people tend to go to bed early due to earlier peak expression in the body cells, thus they wake up early as well.
