How do you find consecutive whole numbers?

Consecutive whole numbers are very easy to find, or to generate whenever you want to. Just count! Any group of numbers you say, without skipping any, are consecutive whole numbers. Like "1 and 2", or "6, 7, and 8". It's a little bit harder to find consecutive whole numbers that fit some kind of description that somebody gives you. But that's easy to learn with practice.
