Verb B2 event
1

happen at the same time

To happen at the same time as something else.

Bruksmønster: to coincide with [event/time]
Vanlig feil:
Learners often forget the preposition and say *"coincide the party"* instead of *"coincide with the party"*. Another common mistake is using *"coincide together"*, which is redundant; *"coincide"* already means happening at the same time. Also, do not confuse the verb *"coincide"* with the noun *"coincidence"*.

Bruksmønster: to coincide with [view/result/fact]

Synonymer
agree (More common and less formal; often used for people, while *"coincide"* is frequent for views, facts, or results.) | match (Less formal; suggests being the same or very similar, especially in details or numbers.) | align (Often used for policies, interests, or strategies becoming similar or supportive of each other.)
Antonymer
contradict (Used when one statement, result, or opinion is opposite to or cannot be true at the same time as another.)

Bruksmønster: to coincide with [line/point/position]

Synonymer
overlap (Can describe shapes or areas covering the same region, though not always perfectly.) | superimpose (Usually describes intentionally placing one shape directly over another so their parts match.)
Antonymer
diverge (Used especially for lines or paths that move apart instead of lying on top of each other.)
