Hello Everyone
Both words sound alike and have similar meaning, but be careful not to confuse them.
- When you adapt something, you change it to make it fit your purpose:
E.g. I tried to adapt the recipe to cook a fish instead a chicken - what a mistake!
- When you adopt something, you use it unchanged:
E.g. He adopted his brother's technique for dealing with rude people - He ignored them!
I hope it helps you not confuse them anymore.
cheers,
Nevton
