No.
If you accidentally hit your clock without moving, does your opponent get to move again?

no. This is why it's important to consult your score sheet regularly as it can prevent this.
Most of the time if you've been walking about during the game and your opponent makes a move then (if there gentlemanly) then they might tell you the move they made when you sit back down. (unless your playing in some massive FIDE tournament then he can't do this as it's talking during the game and the arbiters will punish even the slightest rule break.).

you can talk to your opponent
@gingerninja2003 - Speaking of telling the opponent what move you have played, once in an OTB tournament (I have only ever played two) I playing a girl who would not have been more than 12 I am guessing. I got up to go to the washroom or just to walk, I don't remember for what reason exactly, probably to get a bottle of water.
Anyway while I had left, she had played a move. When I came back I saw it was my turn, and so I asked her what move she had played. Upto this point I had only ever played informal games with friends and asking what the move they played was okay.
When I asked her, she just shrugged her shoulder and covered the scoresheet with both her hands. I was like you little ...
Now I understand that she was fully entitled not to tell me what move she had played, but still there is being a stickler for rules and then there is normal civil decency. Anyway I didn't make a big fuss of it, I just saw the board and knew what the move was in a few seconds.
Also this is not really a criticism of the girl, I fully understand that she was fully entitled to do what she did. BTW for what it is worth she totally kicked my arse in that game. She was a good player I have to say, not that you need to be a good player to defeat me in chess, but still she was good.
Just recalled this story when I saw what was posted above and felt like sharing.

you are allowed to say the move you played, but you don't have to
Lets say your opponent moved, you didn't notice, but see your clock running, so you hit the clock, believing you had forgotten to press it. But in reality, your opponent had moved. Does he get to make a second move in a row?
