Repair the form before interpreting it
- The form one / a一(completed / change)了again / then再to remind提醒we / us我们 needs repair here. Write repeatedly一再to remind提醒we / us我们 instead; keep the word or frame in its demonstrated order.
- Form and meaning are separate checks. After the repair, explain the sentence in its situation rather than treating a familiar translation as a universal rule.
Rewrite the demonstrated repair exactly: 一了再提醒我们
The demonstrated form is 一再提醒我们. The reminder has been repeated; this is more than one new reminder.
Keep the distinction
- The reminder has been repeated; this is more than one new reminder. Check the relevant speaker, time or group in the surrounding context.
- repeatedly一再 does not mean exactly two or three times. again又to remind提醒(completed / change)了first一次 names one additional occurrence; repeatedly一再to remind提醒 summarises a recurring action.
