static void Main(string[] args)
{
    if (Thread.CurrentThread.Name == null)
        Thread.CurrentThread.Name = "Main";
    Console.WriteLine(Thread.CurrentThread.Name + "1");

    TaskTest();

    Console.WriteLine(Thread.CurrentThread.Name + "2");
    Console.ReadLine();

private async static void TaskTest()
{
    Console.WriteLine(Thread.CurrentThread.Name + "3");

    await Task.Delay(2000);
    if (Thread.CurrentThread.Name == null)
        Thread.CurrentThread.Name = "FirstTask";
    Console.WriteLine(Thread.CurrentThread.Name + "4");

    await Task.Delay(2000);
    if (Thread.CurrentThread.Name == null)
        Thread.CurrentThread.Name = "SecondTask";
    Console.WriteLine(Thread.CurrentThread.Name + "5");
}

If you run this program you will see that await will start new thread. Output:

Main1
Main3
Main2
FirstTask4 // 2 seconds delay
SecondTask5 // 4 seconds delay

But if we remove both await keywords, you will learn that async alone doesn't do much. Output:

Main1
Main3
Main4
Main5
Main2

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    if (Thread.CurrentThread.Name == null)
        Thread.CurrentThread.Name = "Main";
    Console.WriteLine(Thread.CurrentThread.Name + "1");

    TaskTest();

    Console.WriteLine(Thread.CurrentThread.Name + "2");
    Console.ReadLine();
}


private async static void TaskTest()
{
    Console.WriteLine(Thread.CurrentThread.Name + "3");

    await Task.Delay(2000);
    if (Thread.CurrentThread.Name == null)
        Thread.CurrentThread.Name = "FirstTask";
    Console.WriteLine(Thread.CurrentThread.Name + "4");

    await Task.Delay(2000);
    if (Thread.CurrentThread.Name == null)
        Thread.CurrentThread.Name = "SecondTask";
    Console.WriteLine(Thread.CurrentThread.Name + "5");
}

If you run this program you will see that await will use different thread. Output:

Main1
Main3
Main2
FirstTask4 // 2 seconds delay
SecondTask5 // 4 seconds delay

But if we remove both await keywords, you will learn that async alone doesn't do much. Output:

Main1
Main3
Main4
Main5
Main2
