At the same time as another thing happens.
Schéma d’usage :

Erreur fréquente :
Learners sometimes use *simultaneously* as an adjective, saying *"two simultaneously events"* instead of *"two simultaneous events"*. Another mistake is placing it in an unnatural position, such as *"He simultaneously quickly ran"* instead of *"He ran quickly and simultaneously pushed the door"* or *"He simultaneously ran quickly and pushed the door"*. Learners may also confuse it with *"spontaneously"*, which means 'without planning', not 'at the same time'.

|
at once (Can mean 'at the same time' but may also mean 'immediately', so it is less precise in careful writing.)
Antonymes
separately (Focuses on things being done one by one or not together in time or space.)
|
sequentially (Technical-sounding; emphasizes happening in a fixed order, not at the same time.)
