Coincidence vs. Coincident
 

Hi, could someone explain to me the difference between coincidence and coincident? Thanks.

Something that is "coincident" is something that happened at the same time. Anything that happened at the same time.

A "coincidence" is an event that seems like it was planned even though it was technically an accident.

What about Convenience and Convenient?

They have basically the same meaning but i guess they have different times when they should be used. Because Convenient is an adjective, convenience is a noun. So you use Convenient in a sentence where you need an adjective

for example: "It would be Convenient to pick up the dog at 2:00pm"

And use convenience in a sentence where you need a noun


example: "For your convenience we will allow you to pick the dog up at 2:00pm"

It would be incorrect to say: "It would be Convenience to pick up the dog at 2:00pm"

Hope that made sense, that one is hard to explain ^^"

Thanks for the help, RaimiiChan.

The former is a noun, while the latter is an adjective.

Thanks for the explanation, Supperman.

"I would like to make an appointment at your convenience. Would Tuesday morning at 10am be convenient for you?"
"Yes that will be convenient for me."

"thank you very much. I look forward to seeing you then."


"Can I visit you tomorrow afternoon?" I am sorry that is INconvenient for me, but I could see you on thursday morning at 10am if that would be convenient for you."

"Oh yes, that will suit me fine. Meaning:That is perfectly convenient for me."
Also Public toilets are called "Conveniences."

Thanks, dogsbody70. Just curious, can I used "would" instead of "will" for the phrases "Yes that will be convenient for me." and "Oh yes, that will suit me fine"?

Yes its okay to say That would be fine as well as, that will be fine but better to say Will. would is in the past. Generally we might say, That's fine with me, or that's fine for me. That suits me fine.
