Consecutively means one would be served after the completion of the other. Concurrent means the time you serve in jail would serve for BOTH sentences at the same time.

Concurrently= all together
Consecutively= back to back
Example: You get 2 fifteen year sentences
Concurrently= both done in 15 years...you serve them at the same time
Consecutively=done in 30 years..you finish one and then start the next

Consecutively--one right after the other, 1, 2, 3. Concurrently, happening/occurring at the same time--the two games were held concurrently--at the same time.

Consecutively means one after the other and concurrently means all at the same time.
Two 10-year sentences served consecutively equals 20 years.
Two 10-year sentences served concurrently equals 10 years.

One means at the same time the other means one after the other...concurrently...you get 2 5 year sentences...but you are out after 5 years...you served them togeather...
Consecutively you get the two 5 year sentences..you serve 5 years...then you stay and serve the 2nd 5 years for a total of 10...

Concurrent means it happens at the same time. Consecutive means that one happens before the other.
