Default Can I use the word DOMINATE?

Hello!

We have a project to help Brazilians learn Phrasal Verbs (TIM AND TAMMY TEACH). In one of my texts I wrote that I would help them DOMINATE phrasal verbs. Someone wrote and said that I couldn't use the word "dominate"; I could only use the word "master". What do you think? Is it permissible to use the word "dominate" when speaking about mastering a very difficult subject? I sort of meant it as "conquer", "command", "gain control of", etc.
