Is it contemporary with or to?

"Contemporary with" and "contemporary to" both mean the same thing: existing or happening at the same time.

Here's how to use them:

* Contemporary with: This phrase is more common and often sounds more natural.

* Example: "Shakespeare was contemporary with Queen Elizabeth I."

* Contemporary to: This phrase is less common but still grammatically correct.

* Example: "The Impressionist movement was contemporary to the Industrial Revolution."

Ultimately, both phrases are correct and convey the same meaning. Choose whichever one sounds better in your sentence.
