Consecutive refers to things that follow each other in order, without interruption. This term is often used in mathematics, but also in general language to describe a sequence of events or items.

In mathematics, consecutive numbers are integers that follow each other in order, such as 1, 2, 3 or 10, 11, 12. For example, if you have a set of consecutive integers, the difference between any two adjacent numbers will always be 1. This concept extends to other sequences as well. Consecutive even numbers would be 2, 4, 6, while consecutive odd numbers would be 1, 3, 5.

The term "consecutive" can also describe events that happen one after another without a break. For instance, a team might achieve consecutive victories, meaning they won several games in a row. Similarly, a period of consecutive rainy days implies that it rained every day for a specific duration. The key element is the lack of a gap or interruption between the items or events being described. The French term "consécutif" or "consécutive" directly translates to "consecutive" and is used in the same manner across various contexts.
