Structure
Similarly, we can express extra repetition in the past with another structure with 又. Here we repeat the verb used and place 又 in the middle. The repetition of the verb emphasizes how the action is being repeated again and again. Note that 了 must be placed before the first 又.
Subj. + Verb + 了 + 又 + Verb
Examples
- 这 个 人 我 看 了又 看 ，还是 觉得 我 不 认识 他。 I looked at him again and again, but I still think I don't know him.
- 我 想 了又 想，还是 觉得 不 能 这样 做 。 I thought it over again and again, I think I can't do it like this.
- 他 找了又 找，还 是 没 找 到 他 的 钱 包。 He searched again and again, and still couldn't find his wallet.
- 他 想了又 想 ，还是 不 同意。He thought it over again and again, and he still disagree.
- 我们 问 了 又 问，她 就是 不 说。We asked again and again, but she wouldn't say it.
- 他 试 了 又 试，就是 打 不 开 门。He tried again and again, but he still couldn't open the door.
- 这 个 方案 改了又 改，终于 通过 了。This plan was changed again and again, and finally it passed.
