einhergehen vs begleiten

to accompany

'begleiten' and 'einhergehen' can both express that two things occur together. 'begleiten' is broader and can also be meant actively: one thing is present as a circumstance or happens at the same time. 'einhergehen' is usually used with 'mit' and means that a development or situation often has a certain consequence or accompanying effect. Learners may confuse the words because both show a connection between two things. In practice: for people or active support, 'begleiten' fits; for consequences and typical side effects, 'einhergehen mit' is usually more appropriate.

Visual example for begleiten
einhergehen
