+</TOC>
+
+While 又 (yòu) is used for ["again" in the past](https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar/Again_in_the_past_with_%22you%22), 再 (zài) is used for "again" in the future. That is, 再 is used when something has happened once and it _will_ happen again.
+
+## Used as "Again"
+
+Remember this is the _future_ "again."
+
+### Structure
+
+Subj. + 再 + [Verb Phrase]
+
+### Examples
+
+- 我们 明年 _再_ 来 。
+  <!-- - Wǒmen míngnián _zài_ lái. -->
+  - We'll come again next year.
+- _再_ 试 一下 。
+  <!-- - _Zài_ shì yīxià. -->
+  - Try it again.
+- 你 可以 _再_ 说 一 遍 吗 ？
+  <!-- - Nǐ kěyǐ _zài_ shuō yī biàn ma? -->
+  - Can you please say it again?
+- 这 本 书 我 要 _再_ 看 一 遍 。
+  <!-- - Zhè běn shū wǒ yào _zài_ kàn yī biàn. -->
+  - I want to read this book again.
+- 你 应该 _再_ 复习 一 遍 。
+  <!-- - Nǐ yīnggāi _zài_ fùxí yī biàn. -->
+  - You should review it again.
+
+In fact, this structure is present in one of the most common Chinese phrases: "再见!" In this case, it literally means "see you again."
+
+## Used as "Another" or "Some More"
+
+The English word "another" is often avoided altogether by using 再.
+
+### Structure
+
+Subj. + 再 + Verb + Obj.
+
+In this case, the object includes a quantity phrase.
+
+### Examples
+
+- _再_ 吃 **一点** 。
+  <!-- - _Zài_ chī **yīdiǎn**. -->
+  - Eat some more.
+- _再_ 点 **几个 菜** 吧 。
+  <!-- - _Zài_ diǎn **jǐ gè cài** ba. -->
+  - Let's order some more dishes.
+- 服务员 ，_再_ 来 **两 瓶 啤酒** 。
+  <!-- - Fúwùyuán, _zài_ lái **liǎng píng píjiǔ**. -->
+  - Waiter, two more bottles of beer, please.
+- _再_ 给 我 **三天 时间** 。
+  <!-- - _Zài_ gěi wǒ **sān tiān shíjiān**. -->
+  - Give me another three days.
+- 我 能 不 能 _再_ 拿 **两 个** ？
+  <!-- - Wǒ néng bu néng _zài_ ná **liǎng gè**? -->
+  - Can I take two more?
+
+## Used for Continuous Action
+
+Here 再 is similar to the English "for a while longer" or "keep [going/doing]."
+
+### Structure
+
+Subj. + 再 + Verb + Verb
+
+### Examples
+
+- _再_ 找找 。
+  <!-- - _Zài_ zhǎozhao. -->
+  - Keep looking.
+- 你 _再_ 问问 。
+  <!-- - Nǐ _zài_ wènwen. -->
+  - Keep asking.
+- 别 急 ，_再_ 想想 。
+  <!-- - Bié jí, _zài_ xiǎngxiang. -->
+  - Don't worry. Keep thinking.
+
+You can also add 一会儿 after the verb to mean "keep doing something a little longer."
+
+- _再_ 聊 一会儿 。
+  <!-- - _Zài_ liáo yīhuǐr. -->
+  - Keep talking for a little bit.
+- _再_ 等 一会儿 。
+  <!-- - _Zài_ děng yīhuǐr. -->
+  - Wait a little longer.
+
+You can use either the "Verb + Verb" pattern or the 一会儿 pattern with 再, but don't use them together.
