I WILL read and WILL study tonight! (repeating the verb)

According to Betty Azar's Grammar Book, she says that USUALLY verbs are not repeated. For example:

- I am going to lock the doors and am going to turn out the lights.

- I will lock the doors and will turn out the lights.

What does she mean by usually?

Does it mean that sometimes native speakers will repeat them for emphasis?

Help here please!

If you have a long phrase and there's lots of space and words between the two expected sentences of the verb, you might repeat it for clarity purposes. But you're supposed to know where the ellipsis takes place and interpret it as such.

0I don't think the native speakers will repeat them in the same sentence. I do agree with the sentence wrote: I will lock the doors and turn out the lights. It is apropriated correct. It is just an idea for you to consider.02br
