1."used to"(a)
'Used to + infinitive' describes a past habit that no longer exists. 'I used to walk' means I walked regularly in the past. 'Am used to' would mean I'm accustomed to walking (different meaning).
2."is used to"(b)
'Is used to working' means she is accustomed to it — it's normal for her. 'Used to' would mean she worked nights in the past but doesn't now (different meaning).
3."get used to"(c)
'Get used to' means to become accustomed over time. 'It took him weeks' shows a gradual adaptation process. 'Be used to' would mean he was already accustomed.
4."used to"(a)
'Used to be' describes something that existed in the past. The cinema no longer exists. This is 'used to + infinitive' for a past state.
5."am used to"(b)
'Am used to the cold' means I am accustomed to it now. 'For five years' shows this is an established familiarity, not a past habit.
