Advanced use of "you"

Nível: HSK 5 | Categoria: Gramática

Explicação da Regra:

To emphasize that an action is being repeated again and again, we can place 又 after a verb, then repeat the same verb again. In the pattern below, 又, together with a repeating verb, indicates that the speaker did something repeatedly (and probably not just twice) in the past. Note that the verb used here must be a single-syllable verb, usually a verb such as 看, 想, 问, 找, or 试. 了 is placed right after the first verb. Subj. ＋ Verb + 了 + 又 + Verb， (还是 / 就是) …… Note that "还是" or "就是" is often used to emphasize that "nothing changed" after all.
