发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
These words all end in -ate, but their stressed syllables differ from 'exacerbate', so they are not rhymes. For example, 'exacerbate' stress is on 'sæs', while 'debate' stress is on 'beɪt'. Watch out for lookalikes like 'exaggerate' and 'exasperate' which have similar spelling but different vowel sounds.
