alongside

Alongside is a word that means next to something or someone else.

When we use the word alongside, we often think of physical space. Imagine you're walking along a river and there's a path on one side and a steep cliff on the other - the cliff would be alongside the path. But the word doesn't always have to do with distance; it can also mean doing something in partnership or cooperation. So if your friend is working on a project alongside another colleague, it means they're both working together on it at the same time. You might also use this word when talking about how two things happen together - like having breakfast alongside a beautiful view. It's often used to describe situations where people or things are doing something in tandem with each other.
