×She bought a new accessory for her computer.
✓She bought a new accessory for her computer.
The sentence is grammatically correct. The common mistake is the misuse of the article. Learners often use 'an' before 'accessory' because the word starts with a vowel sound, but the correct indefinite article is 'a' because the first sound /æk/ is a vowel letter 'a' pronounced as a consonant sound /æ/. The correct form uses 'a'.
×These shoes are a perfect accessory with this dress.
✓These shoes are a perfect accessory to this dress.
When describing something that complements a main item (like fashion or a device), the correct preposition is 'to', not 'with'. 'Accessory to' indicates a supplementary relationship.
×He was charged as an accessory for the robbery.
✓He was charged as an accessory to the robbery.
In legal context, a person is an accessory 'to' a crime, not 'for' a crime. The preposition 'to' is fixed in this phrase.
×I bought many accessories for my car, like new tires and a steering wheel.
✓I bought many accessories for my car, like a phone holder and floor mats.
Learners sometimes confuse 'accessory' with essential parts or components. 'Accessory' refers to a supplementary, non-essential item that adds functionality or style. Tires and a steering wheel are essential components, not accessories.
×She loves fashion accessory.
✓She loves fashion accessories.
The word 'accessory' is often used in the plural form when referring to items in general, as people typically own or discuss multiple items. Using the singular form without an article sounds unnatural in this general statement.
×This bag is accessory.
✓This bag is an accessory.
When using 'accessory' as a predicate noun after 'be', it requires an article ('an') because it is a singular, countable noun referring to one item in that category.
