event
1
happen at the same time
To happen at the same time as something else.
Padrão de uso:
to coincide with [event/time]
Erro comum:
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"*.

overlap (Suggests that periods of time cover some of the same span, not always exactly the same start and end.)

be in full agreement
To be the same as, or very close to, another idea, opinion, or result.
Padrão de uso:

|
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.)

Sinónimos
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.)
