Common Mispronunciations of Accompanied

Not a-kuhm-PA-need

The beat stays on the second syllable, where accompany puts it. Adding the ending changes nothing about the rhythm.

Not uh-KOM-puh-nyd

Four beats plus the ending, and the ied at the end is a clear need. The o in the middle is the uh of cup, not the o of rock.

Tip: The double c is one k sound. Only accent and accept split it into ks.
