Repeated words in a sentence - I am not sure how to punctuate them
Hi - I am never sure how to treat repeated words in a sentence - such as in the following sentence: "I have seen him time, after time, meet my need; and we had a great time celebrating this." This is just an example of the type of sentences that I am not sure of. Does one always want to put the comas around the repeated words - in this case "time, after time," ?
Thank you so much for your help, Chris

- No!
- The expression "time after time" should contain no commas.
- The same is true for other such expressions like "day by day".
