    Note

    The -ing form does double duty. As a participle it carries the verb into progressive tenses (are coinciding) and modifying phrases; as a gerund it names the action. The same spelling also serves as the noun for the event itself, which takes a plural, coincidings. Like coincide, it is intransitive and never takes a direct object. All three of the verb's meanings carry over: sharing a space, a moment, or an opinion.
