at the same time during

This phrase is not correct in English. 'During' is redundant when used with 'at the same time.'

It is more concise and accurate to use 'at the same time' without 'during.'

Alternatives:

  • at the same time

at the same time and during

This phrase is not correct in English. 'During' is redundant when used with 'at the same time.'

It is more concise and accurate to use 'at the same time' without 'during.'

Alternatives:

  • at the same time
Both phrases are not commonly used in English. The preposition 'during' is redundant when used with 'at the same time,' as it already implies a simultaneous action. It is more concise and correct to use 'at the same time' alone.
