The repetition of an action can be expressed using either 在 (zaì) or 又 (yòu), the main difference being that 又 is used for actions that have already occurred while 在 is used to express recurrences of an action in the future.
 
 
 
 
 
== Both Express Repetition, But For Slightly Different Contexts ==
 
 
 
=== 又 Indicates Recurrences That Have Already Taken Place===
