Need Help┃Solved How to get past skipped lines?

I've been getting good with vim but every now and then when I want to access a certain line, I can't move the cursor into it, it just jumps over. What I usually do it move the cursor a line above it and (number)+w a few times. Any advice for this small problem I'd be grateful.
