make someone used to something
To make someone, or yourself, feel normal and comfortable with something after seeing or doing it many times.
用法パターン：
to accustom [someone/yourself] to [something]
よくある間違い：
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".
