How it's used
Reserved for formal or professional contexts, this term implies a sense of duty or official arrangement rather than casual hanging out. It is commonly found in news reports or business settings to describe staff or security personnel traveling alongside a superior. Using it in casual conversation with friends can sound overly stiff or dramatic.
Examples
The boss is going to a meeting, and the secretary has to accompany him.
Are you going on the trip alone or with a friend accompanying you?

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe casual social outings with friends, as it carries a formal tone that sounds out of place in relaxed settings. Use 陪或者一齊去 instead for everyday situations.
