The word “again” is an adverb that has several meanings:


1. One more time: It refers to doing something once more or repeating an action. For example:
o “Could you spell your name again, please?”
o “If he does it again, I’ll have to tell him.”
o “Deborah’s late again.”
2. Back to the original place or condition: It signifies returning to a previous state or position. For
instance:
o “We went to Edinburgh and back again, all in one day.”
o “Get some rest, and you’ll soon be well again.”
3. Once again: When something happens once again, it has already occurred several times before. For
example:
o “You are reminded once again of the author’s love for the sea.”
4. Never again: This phrase is used after an unpleasant experience to express that you do not intend to
repeat it. For instance:
o “He drove me back home last night. Never again!”
5. Yet again: When something happens yet again, it has already happened many times before. For
example:
o “I’m afraid it’s been delayed yet again.”
6. Again and again: This phrase means repeatedly. For instance:
o “I’ve told you again and again not to do that.”
7. All over again: If you do something all over again, you start from the beginning. For example:
o “It’s already taken me two hours—I don’t want to have to do it all over again.”
