Error frecuente:
Learners often confuse "successive" with "successful". "Successive" means "one after another", while "successful" means "ending well" or "achieving a goal". Learners may also use "successive" where "subsequent" is better; "subsequent" just means "later", but "successive" usually implies no gaps in the sequence.
