Question

请问一个英语问题，谢谢，急急急

老师说“连续4年”有两种说法：for four years in succession或者for four consecutive years.我有一点不明白，既然第一种说法中用到了succession，那第二种说法为什么不能用succession的形容词即for four successive years?

Answer 1

For four years in a row
也是连续四年的意思

这个问题我也不是很清楚，
但要知道，语言都有很多不讲理的地方，然后就叫做固定用法~

所以别那么较真，记住他就好~

当你用不是用英语去考试而是去交流的时候你会发现，语言是很随意的东西
