When a verb is done more than once, it also requires a measure word to accompany it. This way the measure word is acting as a way to count the frequency or re-occurrence of an action.

=== Structure ===
Verb + Number + Measure Word
The grammar pattern is very similar to English. For example, "看三次" and "saw three times" mirror each other in structure. In Chinese sentences, these measure words can either come after the verb (as a complement) or before the word (as an adverb). You should also know that, like nouns, some verbs have special measure words to go with them. The basic verbal measure word, however, is 次. === Examples ===
* 再 说 一 ''遍'' 。Zài shuō yī ''biàn''.Say it again. * 你 能 再 读 一 ''遍'' 吗 ？Nǐ néng zài dú yī ''biàn'' ma?Could you please read it again? * 这个 电影 我 看 过 两 ''遍'' 。Zhège diànyǐng wǒ kàn guo liǎng ''biàn''.I've seen this movie twice. * 这个 故事 我 听 她 说 过 一 百 多 ''遍'' 了 。Zhège gùshi wǒ tīng tā shuō guo yī bǎi duō ''biàn'' le.I've heard her tell this story more than one hundred times. * 我们 去 过 两 ''次'' 。Wǒme qù guo liǎng ''cì''.We've been there twice. * 我 问 了 他 很 多 ''次'' ，可是 他 不 告诉 我 。Wǒ wèn le tā hěn duō ''cì'', kěshì tā bù gàosu wǒ.I've asked him about it many times, but he wouldn't tell me. * 这个 问题 我们 讨论 过 几 ''次'' 。Zhège wèntí wǒmen tǎolùn guo jǐ ''cì''.We've discussed this a few times. * 那个 红 头发 的 男孩 打 了 我 三 ''下'' 。Nàge hóng tóufa de nánhái dǎ le wǒ sān ''xià''.That red-haired boy hit me three times. * 他 轻轻 地 拍 了 我 两 ''下'' 。Tā qīngqīng de pāi le wǒ liǎng ''xià''.He very lightly pat me twice. * 你 没 听见 吗 ？我 敲 了 好 几 ''下'' 。Nǐ méi tīngjiàn ma? Wǒ qiāo le hǎo jǐ ''xià''.Did you not hear the door? I knocked quite a few times.
