| + | #REDIRECT [[Expressing "again" in the past with "you"]] |
| − | | |
| − | Whenever you want to express something like "you did it again!" in Chinese, you may want to use 又.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Structure ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | There are two words for "again" in Chinese. This depends on whether the repetition ''has'' happened, or whether it's [[Again in the future with "zai"|''going to'' happen]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | If the repetition has happened, i.e. it's a repetition in the past, 又 is used.

| − | | |
| − | Subject + 又 + Verb + 了
| |
| − | | |
| − | </div>
| |
| − | | |
| − | Notice that 了 is used as the action is complete.

| − | Similarly, we can express the same thing using another structure. 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.
