The English Word of the Day: Again

Question

again (adverb)

• another time: de nuevo; otra vez
• But, then again, ... = Pero, por otra parte, ...
• again and again = una y otra vez
• every now and again = de vez en cuando
• now and again (occasionally) = cada tanto
• to do again = volver a hacer OR hacer de nuevo ('do' can be any verb)
• come again (as in: Can you repeat that? = ¿Cómo?
• Here we go again! = ¡Y dale con lo mismo! OR ¡Otra vez el mismo cuento!

Today's word is simple, but hopefully offers us many opportunities to come up with some nice sentences again ; - )

Answer 1

Todos los que quieran hablar español con soltura necesitan estudiar los verbos repetidas veces.

Everyone who wants to speak Spanish fluently must study the verbs time and time again.

Oh yes, and it's so so tedious. I'm thinking perhaps a spanish hypnotist could help to implant them in my subconcious. What do you think? - 0095ca4c, May 21, 2013

And I still need to study more. - katydew, May 21, 2013
