Be accustomed to:
* Preposition: "to"
* Meaning: To be used to something or familiar with something. It suggests a habitual or regular experience.
Examples:
* I am accustomed to waking up early. (I do it regularly)
* She is accustomed to the cold weather. (She is familiar with it)
Be accustomed with:
* Preposition: "with"
* Meaning: This phrase is not commonly used in English. While it might be technically possible to use "with" in this context, it is not idiomatic and would sound strange or incorrect to most native speakers.
Instead of "be accustomed with," you could use:
* Be familiar with: This indicates knowledge or understanding of something.
* Be acquainted with: This suggests a casual level of knowing someone or something.
Here's an example to illustrate the difference:
* Incorrect: I am accustomed with the rules of the game.
* Correct: I am accustomed to the rules of the game. (I play the game regularly and know the rules)
* Alternatively: I am familiar with the rules of the game. (I know the rules, but I might not play regularly)
In short, use "be accustomed to" when you want to express familiarity or habit.
