Answer to Question #82761 in English for Sayem

Question

However, I have gradually adjusted myself ______ town life.
Which preposition will be correct for it
To or with
Explain please

Answer 1

However, I have gradually adjusted myself __to____ town life.

To or with

The correct preposition is “to.” The preposition “with” is used when describing two aspects that act or exist together. Therefore, it does not fit in the named sentence since the pronoun “myself” and the noun “town life” exist independently. Comparatively, “to” is used when describing one thing that acts on another. This preposition fits in the blank space as it shows that the person in “myself” is the one adjusting to “town life.”
