Használati minta:
to concur with [someone/something]; to concur that [clause]
Gyakori hiba:
Learners often confuse "concur" with "occur" because they look similar; however, "concur" means "to agree," while "occur" means "to happen." Another common mistake is using the preposition *to* ("concur to"), which is incorrect; the usual patterns are "concur with [someone/something]" or "concur that [clause]." Learners also sometimes use it in very casual speech where "agree" is more natural, making their English sound too stiff.

to occur at the same time
To happen at the same time as another event.
Használati minta:
to concur with [event/trend]; to concur in [time period]
Gyakori hiba:
Learners sometimes assume this sense also means "agree," but here "concur" is about time, not opinion. In this meaning, it usually does **not** take a clause with "that"; instead it links events ("X concurred with Y"), so sentences like *"The meeting concurred that we should leave"* are wrong for this sense and actually use the "agree" sense.
Szinonimák
coincide (The most direct equivalent; slightly more common than "concur" in this temporal sense.)
|
overlap (Suggests that things happen during some of the same period, not necessarily exactly at the same time.)
Antonimák
diverge (Emphasizes moving apart in time or development instead of happening together.)
|
