theme: Both 再 (zài) and 又 (yòu) express the repeating of an action and can be roughly translated in English to "again." However, 再 is used to express actions that have not yet occurred (the "future again") and 又 is used for actions that have already occurred (the "past again"). They're not interchangeable. In addition, each word has a few special usages.

format: Subj. + (先) + verb1 + 再 + verb2
example: 我们 先 做 作业 再 去 爬山
details: 再 can be used with 先 to express sequential order. (ex. Do this....and then this....) In some cases, 再 can appear by itself to simply mean "and then." While this doesn't sound so easy to confuse with 又, it's actually quite common for intermediate learners to misunderstand this use of 再 as meaning "again," so it's definitely worth mentioning here.

HSK: 3
format: Subj. + 又 + Verb + 了
example: 这 个 人 又 来 了
details: 又 is used in declarative sentences and describes the simple repetition of actions. This repeated action has already occurred once in the past.
exception: 又来了 is a common usage in this pattern, but is also a little tricky because it expresses something that is still ongoing, and has already started as the speaker is speaking. it's quite common for 又 to be immediately followed by 是 (shì), 要 (yào), 可以 (kěyǐ), or 能 (néng), and you'll notice that there's often a 了, indicating that something is about to happen.
