Častá chyba:
Learners often say *"accustom with"* instead of *"accustom to"*. The correct preposition is always **to**: "accustom yourself to the heat", not "accustom yourself with the heat". Another common mistake is using an infinitive instead of a noun or -ing form: say "accustom yourself to getting up early" or "to the new rules", not "accustom yourself to get up early".
