How to skip row number for particular row in php?

Question

Here is the piece of the code, in which the counter variable is used to add the question number automatically. I want to skip the question number if the type==4(last category) which is the question heading.

 @php
                    $counter=0;
                    @endphp
                    @foreach($questions as $question)
                    <tr>
                        <td>{{++$counter}}</td>
                        <td colspan=4 style="text-align:left;">{{$question->title}}</td>
                    </tr>
                    <tr>
                        @if($question->type==1)
                        @include('partials.response',['question_no'=>$question->id,'question_title'=>$question->title])
                        @elseif($question->type==2)
                        @include('partials.attendance')
                        @elseif($question->type==3)
                        @include('par`enter code here`tials.rank')
                        @elseif($question->type==4)
                        @include('partials.question-heading')
                        
                  @endif

                    </tr>
                    @endforeach
