Whats an antonym for simultaneous??

Question

can i get a sentence too, please?

Answer 1

separate...

Answer 2

haphazard

example:

Bob and Tim worked simultaneously on the problem to get a solution. They both started and stopped at the same time.

You could say they started at separate times but I think haphazard fits better because of all the uncertainty it implies.

You can be in separate rooms but start working on a problem simultaneously... you would never say they slept in simultaneous rooms.

Simultaneous gives you the impression you are in sync. Haphazard is when you are totally out of sync.

Answer 3

Successive or sequential

'He sang and played the piano simultaneously'

Answer 4

The antonym is separate.

  The two children slept in separate rooms.  

Answer 5

Consecutive; as in:  He failed to show up for work for three consecutive days.
