Examples of REPEAT in a Sentence

1. Rita Charon:

   It’s easy to do, and something many of us do routinely, it lets the patient know what I think, and it reminds me to write in English and not in abbreviations. It reminds me to faithfully repeat what happened in that twenty minutes.

2. Jonathan Cane:

   There’s not usually time to get bored during track workouts because you’re doing shorter segments, but they hurt because you’re working hard. So for each segment, focus on one particular body part or technique. For instance, on one 400m repeat, think about nothing but making sure your hands are where they should be. On the next one, focus on your knee lift or getting your heels up toward your butt. When your attention is on one particular aspect, you’re less likely to be thinking, ‘Oh crap, this hurts!’.

3. Chicago Police Superintendent David Brown:

   If you come downtown or anywhere else, let me repeat, or anywhere else to engage in disorderly conduct or crimes, you will be arrested.

5. Yasuo Fukuda:

   But I think it would be good to repeat this, if we could be persuasive simply by saying that for 70 years we have been a peaceful country and made great efforts, that would be fine. But to give firmer support to what we have done, we should refer to what went before.
