Again and again; on many occasions
Many times, one after another, often in the same way.
Patrón de uso:
to do [something] repeatedly
Error frecuente:
Learners sometimes use only 'again' instead of 'repeatedly' when they want to stress that something happens many times or very often. For example, they may say '*He again called me yesterday and today*' instead of 'He repeatedly called me yesterday and today.' Another common mistake is placing 'repeatedly' in an unnatural position in the sentence; it usually goes before the main verb ('repeatedly asked'), after 'be' ('was repeatedly told'), or at the end of the clause ('asked him for help repeatedly').
