Chinese Grammars.
1: About “又”
“又” means again. Usually it is used to indicate what has already happened.
For example:
他 今天 又 去 书店 了。
He went to the bookstore again today.
他 昨天 没 来，今天 又 没来。
He didn't come yesterday, but he didn't come again today.
2: Practise “了”, modal auxiliary, and sentence pattern.
“了” is a modal particle used at the end of a sentence, indicating something has happened or the situation has changed. It helps form a sentence, and often occurs in the pattern “V + O + 了”. It is usually accompanied by a time word or phrase in a sentence.
For example:
S(subject) + P(predicate)[ V + O + 了 ]
我 吃 早饭 了。
I have breakfast.
Time + S + P[ V(verb) + O(object) + 了 ]
星期六 他 去 书店 了。
He went to the bookstore on Saturday.
昨天 山田 搬家 了。
Yesterday, Yamada moved.
昨天 我 父母 来 了。

Negative form: “没” or “没有” is added before the verb and “了” is removed from the end of the sentence.
Time + S + P[ 没有/没 + V ]
我 没有 吃 早饭。
I didn't have breakfast.
星期六 他 没 去 商店。
