Everyone is accommodating English friends (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

allies

'friends' is the definition.
('ally' can be a synonym of 'friend')

'everyone is accommodating english' is the wordplay.
'everyone' becomes 'all' (I've seen this before).
'accommodating' indicates putting letters inside.
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'is' going around 'e' is 'ies'.
'all'+'ies'='ALLIES'

(Other definitions for allies that I've seen before include "Co-operating states" , "Formally cooperating countries" , "Partners or confederates" , "They support and encourage each other" , "Fellow-members, confederates" .)
