How it's used
This term carries a formal or professional tone, often appearing in news reports, official documents, or business contexts. It implies a sense of duty or a structured arrangement, unlike the more casual 陪 which is used for friends or family. You will rarely hear it in casual, everyday conversation between peers.
Examples
He accompanied his boss to the meeting.
Can you accompany me to go there?
Related words
Common phrases
to accompany someone to go to a place
to accompany someone to attend an event
Common mistake
Learners often use this in casual social settings where 陪 is much more natural. Using 隨同 to describe going to the cinema with a friend sounds overly stiff and slightly unnatural.
