to agree with someone or something
To say that you have the same opinion as someone else, especially in a formal situation.
用法パターン：
to concur with [someone/something]; to concur that [clause]
よくある間違い：
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.
用法パターン：
to concur with [event/trend]; to concur in [time period]
よくある間違い：
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.
類義語
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.)
対義語
diverge (Emphasizes moving apart in time or development instead of happening together.)
|
alternate (Implies taking turns in sequence rather than occurring simultaneously.)
