B2 adjective

successif

When we talk about things happening successif, we mean they are following one after another in a sequence, without anything in between. It's like a chain of events, where each event comes right after the previous one.

You might use it to describe a series of actions or occurrences that are directly linked and unfold one after the other. Think of it as a continuous progression or a consecutive order.
