Pronunciation & Spelling
These words share the final stressed syllable /-eɪd/ with promenade: parade, cascade, masquerade, serenade, lemonade. Be careful: comrade looks similar but is pronounced /ˈkɑːmræd/, not /-eɪd/. Also note that in British English promenade may be pronounced /ˌprɒməˈnɑːd/, in which case it does not rhyme with these '-ade' words.
