Grammar
repeat and same
Hi
Please help me with this sentence
She has often repeated the same idea in different ways.
I think this expression is common at least in my region.
I am wondering why we should use same and repeat together.
I think we can put it this way:
She has often repeated an idea in different ways.
Please give your comments.

Simply, you could say "She repeats her idea in different ways."
Certain context would call for all the words you used. If you already gave an example of one iteration of her repeated idea, and wanted to transition into proving its recycling, you could use "She often repeate
