Repeated for Dummies

Repeated means doing something over and over again. It's like when you go to the park and slide down the slide once. And then, you climb back up and go down the slide again. And then, you do it one more time, because it's so much fun! That's what it means to repeat something - to do it multiple times or to do it again and again. It's like when we play our favorite song on the radio and we want to hear it again, so we press the repeat button. We want to listen to it more than once because we enjoy it so much! That's exactly what it means when we say something is repeated.

But repeated can also mean something that happens or occurs more than once in a row. It's like when we watch a basketball game and one player makes a lot of baskets in a row. We would say that the player has repeated successes because they keep making baskets one after another. Or it's like when you eat the same kind of cereal for breakfast every day for a whole week, that's a repeated pattern. So, when something happens or occurs in a pattern, one after another, we say it is repeated.

To summarize, repeated means doing the same thing over and over again or when something happens more than once, in a row, or in a pattern. Whether it's sliding down a slide, listening to a song, or seeing something happen again and again, repeated means doing or experiencing something multiple times.
