Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Accustom"

A: @rahul0602

It means, I'm really extremely offended by what you've just said to me.

A: After a few months living in China i got accustomed to be eating congee for breakfast.

A: No difference. Get used to is more colloquial.

A: Accustom sounds a little more formal or technical, while get used to sounds casual and is more likely to be used in speech. Examples:

Formal-sounding: We must accustom ourselves to being here.

Casual: We need to get used to being here.

A: In the past tense, you can say "accustomed" or even "used to" in an informal setting.

A: × I had to quickly accustom myself to darkness to see the monster loitering inside the house.
✓ I had to quickly accustom myself to the darkness to see the monster loitering inside the house.

It sounds better to use "the" in front of darkness. For "accustom" you might also use "adjust" as in "I had to quickly adjust to the darkness to see the monster loitering inside the house." But "accustom" works. Good job!!
