For #1 I would say one of the following: Next week, I can accommodate your availability. Next week, I can accommodate your schedule. Next week, I can work around your schedule. The words "availability" and "schedule" can be used interchangeably in these sentences. You can also rearrange them to put the works "next week" at the end. Example: "I can accommodate your availability next week." For # 2, I would simply say something like: My schedule is flexible. I can keep my schedule flexible for you. Once again, "availability" and "schedule" can be used interchangeably here.

The more normative way of expressing the idea is to say that you accommodate "the person" rather than "the availability". There is nothing wrong with your sentence, but there is an awkwardness to it; but here are some examples. "1.Next weekend, I can be accommodate your availability." This becomes; "Next weekend, I can accommodate you." (or) "Next weekend my schedule is open." --------------------------------------------------- "2.I can be flexible with my schedule for yours next weekend" This becomes; "My schedule for next weekend is flexible."

Hello, 1.Next weekend, I can be accommodate your availabity. Qn1, grammatical sense: next weekend, I can accomodate your availability. (But this sounds awkward so.. Qn 2 below) Qn2, sounding natural: I would be able to accomodate you next weekend / I would be able to accomodate your availability/schedule next weekend 2.I can be flexible with my schedule for yours next weekend Qn1: I can be flexible with my schedule to accomodate yours next weekend Qn2: I can be flexible to accomodate your schedule next weekend

[correctionion]: "1.Next weekend, I can accommodate your availability." [Sorry, but that sentence needed editing!--BB]
