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.
