Both… and… (又…又…)

Structure 又 + quality 1 + 又 + quality 2

又…又… (yòu… yòu…) puts together two qualities or actions present at once in the same thing: 这个菜又便宜又好吃 = "this dish is both cheap AND tasty". Each 又 goes before an adjective or verb. It usually adds traits of the same sign (both good or both bad).
