A DOUBT

Hello, dear colleagues around the world.

Please I would like you to help me.

I know that here you are is correct.

BUT

IS IT CORRECT IF WE SAY.

Here you have your keys or here are your keys

here you have your pisco sour or here is your pisco sour.

How do you say in Spanish this two sentences:

1. I get used to studying in the evenging. (the process of becoming normal)

2. I am used to studying in the evening. (something is normal)

3. I got already used to working 12 hours per day.

THANKS A MILLION IN ADVANCE.

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.

Hi, Charito,

"Here are your keys" and "Here is your pisco sour" are the correct forms.

For the others:

!. Since the simple present is for repeated or continuous activity, you can �t use it with "get used to". To make it a present action, use the Present Continuous. I am getting used to studying in the evening.

2. This one is good.

3. Since the action is completed, use either the present perfect or the simple present (without "get"):

I have gotten used to working 12 hours per day.

I am used to working 12 hours per day.
