this basically means the sentences are to be served at the same time. so if someone gets a 4 year sentence in prison and a 7 year sentence in prison, and the judge order them to run concurrently, that means the person would basically be facing a 7 year sentence (since they are serving both sentences at the same time) rather than 11 years (serving one sentence of 7 years and then another sentence of 4 years running consecutively to one another.
I hope I explained this without confusion....
