    This phrase sounds very formal. Think of it like a fancy word you'd read in a newspaper. You will see it in official papers or news. The form '〜に伴って' is a little less formal. You might hear it spoken sometimes.

    This is like '〜につれて' or '〜にしたがって'. But '〜に伴い' is more formal. It is used for more things. The other two mean things change together slowly. '〜に伴い' can mean that too. But it can also mean one event causes another. It shows a stronger direct result.

    Don't use this when two things just happen at the same time. For example, you cannot say "Along with spring's arrival, I passed the test." The two things must be linked.
