Subject + be used to means being accustomed to a certain activity.
For example. I live in England. England has a lot of rain and clouds therefore I am used to bad weather.
The structure goes like this:
We start with the subject (a person or you can use the subject pronoun), then we add the corresponding ‘be’ verb:
- I am
- You are (singular)
- He/she/it is
- We are
- You are (plural)
- They are
Then we add ‘used to’ and finally we add the action.

‘be + not used to’ (negation) meaning
You can make the sentence negative by adding ‘not’ between ‘be’ and ‘used’. For example:
I am not used to hot weather. England is not very sunny or hot. When it is hot, I suffer, I get burnt, I can’t sleep etc. I am not accustomed to the sun.
