Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes confuse "consecutive" with "continuous". "Consecutive" means separate items that follow one after another (for example, three consecutive days: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday). "Continuous" means something that does not stop at all (for example, it rained continuously for 24 hours). Learners may also forget that "consecutive" is usually used with countable, ordered things like days, years, games, or numbers.
