Again in the past with "you"

Structure
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.
Subject + 又 + Verb + 了
Notice that 了 is used as the action is complete.
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！
