Usage Note
Consecutivo agrees in gender and number: consecutivo/a/i/e. It means 'one after another without interruption' — tre giorni consecutivi (three consecutive days). In grammar, proposizione consecutiva is a consecutive clause (expressing result). Do not confuse with conseguente (consequent, following as a result) — consecutivo emphasises unbroken sequence, conseguente emphasises causal consequence.
