Usage notes
- Use consecutivo for sequence or uninterrupted repetition: tre giorni consecutivi. For physical adjacency, vicino or adiacente is often more natural than contiguo/consecutivo.
- After a number, it usually comes after the noun: due anni consecutivi, not consecutivi due anni.
- It agrees in gender and number: prova consecutiva, giorni consecutivi.
