1."am used to"(a)
'Am used to' means I am accustomed to something. After ten years, the speaker is already familiar with the rain. 'Be used to' describes a current state of familiarity.
2."getting used to"(b)
'Getting used to' means she is in the process of becoming accustomed. Since she just moved, she hasn't fully adapted yet — she's still adjusting.
3."is used to"(a)
'Is used to sleeping' means he is already accustomed to it. As a regular night-shift worker, sleeping during the day is normal for him now.
4."getting used to waking"(b)
'Getting used to waking up' means we are still in the process of adapting. 'Still' emphasises that the adjustment isn't complete. Note: 'to' here is a preposition, so it's followed by -ing.
5."getting used to driving"(a)
'Getting used to driving' asks about the process of adaptation. Since the person just moved to the UK, they are still adjusting. After 'get used to', use -ing (not infinitive).
