Hello, teachers!
I found the following sentence on a web dictionary.
She always accommodate herself to her boyfriend's tastes.
Can "accommodate" be changed for "suit" or "adjust"?
Thank you in advance!
With regards,
Junkomama |

in my opinon,
*accommodate* can be changed for *adjust*.
*accommodate sth to sth* means *chang or adjust sth so that it fits or harmonizes with sth else.*
hope that helps. |

It should actually be accommodates. "Adjusts" works as well. If you change it to "suits", it changes the meaning. |
