"Did you use to get it done often?"
This question is in the past-tense. The person asking the question is wondering whether or not the other person USED TO complete a particular task often. It implies that the person does not do the task often any more.
Example:
"I didn't do my homework again."
"Did you use to get it done often?"
"Yes, but I have become lazy."
*Note: "Did you used to get it done often?" is wrong because the auxiliary 'did' should not be used with an -ed marker in a question.
Compare:
"Was he used to playing tennis all day?"
"Did he use to play tennis all day?"
"Do you get it done often?"
This question is in the future-tense. The person asking the question is wondering whether or not the other person completes a particular task often.
Example:
"My homework is so difficult. I don't know if I can get it done this time."
"Really? Do you get it done often?"
"Go get something done!"
This is a command. It is used to command someone to omplete a task or to do something in general that is productive.
Example:
Mark did nothing except playing video games all day, so his mother said angrily, "Go get something done!" Finally, he arose from the couch and took out the rubbish.
