at exactly the same time
At the same time as another thing happens.
Padrão de uso:
[something] happens simultaneously (with [something])
Erro comum:
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'.
Sinónimos
at the same time (More common and less formal in everyday speech.)
|
concurrently (Very close in meaning, but sounds technical or formal, often used about tasks or processes.)
|
at once (Can mean 'at the same time' but may also mean 'immediately', so it is less precise in careful writing.)
Antónimos
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.)
