There are two words for "again" in Chinese. This depends on whether the repetition has happened, or whether it's going to happen.
If the repetition has happened, i.e. it's a repetition in the past, 又 is used. The structure is:
Subject + 又 + Verb + 了
Notice that 了 is used as the action is complete.
Some examples:
- 你 又 迟到 了。
- 他 又 喝醉 了， 他 的 肝 怎么 受 得 了 呢？
- 苹果十五块钱一斤？你 又 被 骗 了，我 已经 跟 你 说 过 买菜 的 时候 一定 要 讲价！。
