<how far Mr. Mike will successively go.> or <how successively Mr. Mike will go far.>

Hi,
I looked up "go far" idiom. --> go far: (of people) to be very successful in the future. (usually coming along with <will> or <should>)

My first question, I want to know whether the below sentences are possible.
e.g. 1) There is news about how far Mr. Mike will successively go.
e.g. 2) There is news about how successively Mr. Mike will go far.

My second question, if both questions are possible, what is different nuance?

I can't guess what the sentences are supposed to mean. Sorry.

I can't guess what the sentences are supposed to mean. Sorry.

Hi
I want to mean successively as "consecutively"

But I want to know whether the below sentences are possible.
e.g. 1) There is news about how far Mr. Mike will successively(=consecutively) go.
e.g. 2) There is news about how successively(=consecutively) Mr. Mike will go far.

and then, if both questions are possible what is different nuance?

I'm afraid I still don't understand what you're trying to say.

Hi

I mean this usage of how is used before an adjective or adverb to ask about the amount, degree, etc. of something, or about somebody’s age.
So I would like to express that Mr. Mike will go far very consecutively.(it is emphasis on "consecutively")
and I would like to express that Mr Mike will go very far consecutively. (it is emphasis on "go far")

Re: <how far Mr. Mike will successively go.> or <how successively Mr. Mike will go fa

I would like to express that Mr Mike will go very far consecutively.

"Consecutively" doesn't make sense there. Can you express your idea with different words?

We don't use successive or consecutive that way. None of your sentences are natural.

Take your first two examples:

1) There is news about how far Mr. Mike will successively go.

For one thing, there can't be news about the future. News is always about the present or the recent past.

For another, you can't go somewhere successively. You just go. There are lots of ways to go: quickly, slowly, determinedly. But successively makes no sense. Neither does consecutively.​

2) There is news about how successively Mr. Mike will go far.

First, there's the same problem with news.

Second, there are a lot of ways to go far. But again, successively isn't one of them. Neither is consecutively.​

So tell us more about what you're trying to express.

Re: <how far Mr. Mike will successively go.> or <how successively Mr. Mike will go fa

Hi

I would like to express Mr. Mike will go far by using idiom go far: ​(of people) to be very successful in the future - e.g.) She is very talented and should go far.
I would like to express how usage like "how + adverb or adjective: used before an adjective or adverb to ask about the amount, degree, etc. of something, or about somebody’s age"

So I would like to say how successful Mr. Mike will be. However do you think it cannot be possible to use "go far" and "how" to express what I am trying to say?

PS: I have just deleted word 'news '. As you said, word 'news' is inappropriate.

Hi

I would like to say that Mr. Mike will go far, by using the idiom go far: ​[STRIKE](of people)[/STRIKE] to be very successful in the future - e.g.) She is very talented and should go far.

That phrasing is fine.

I would like to use "how + adverb or adjective: used before an adjective or adverb to talk about the amount, degree, etc. of something,

That makes sense.

or about somebody’s age".

I don't understand what you want to say about someone's age.

So I would like to say how successful Mr. Mike will be. However do you think it cannot be possible to use "go far" and "how" to express what I am trying to say?

It is very possible. But the adverbs successively and consecutively are wrong. You can't go far successively.

You might say something like:

- I wonder how far Mike will go in his career?

- We can imagine how far Mike will progress in his field.

- Mike is so smart that there's no telling how far he'll go.

- How far Mike will go is up to him.

Hi,
"used before an adjective or adverb to ask about the amount, degree, etc. of something, or about somebody’s age". This is a definition from Oxford dictionary.

Anyhow thanks for your corrections.
I've understood adverbs: successively and consecutively cannot be used in what I am trying to say.

As well, the below sentences are what I am trying to say.


- I wonder how far Mike will go in his career.

- We can imagine how far Mike will progress in his field.

- Mike is so smart that there's no telling how far he'll go.

- How far Mike will go is up to him.


Once again I am sincerely thankful to you.

How should we include the idea of 'consecutive successes' in an interrogative sentence?

Does "How consecutively successful will Mike be?" work?

I don't think that works. How about "consistently successful"? Or "Will Mike maintain his successful performance(s)?
