你每天走着去办公室？对啊，我走了六个月了。一共收了3公斤(了?)。
Hi,

I just learned the following conversation from my course.
A: 你每天走着去办公室？
B: 对啊，我走了六个月了。一共瘦了3公斤(了?)。

Is the second 了 (inside parenthesis) necessary or is it correct with or without it? If I put it, would the meaning change?

Thank you!

你每天走着去办公室？对啊，我走了六个月了。一共收了3公斤(了?)。
Hi,

I just learned the following conversation from my course.
A: 你每天走着去办公室？
B: 对啊，我走了六个月了。一共瘦了3公斤(了?)。

Is the second 了 (inside parenthesis) necessary or is it correct with or without it? If I put it, would the meaning change?

Thank you!

Answer

一共瘦了3公斤了。

Answer

I Think the second 了 is necessary, it may indicates a kind of perfect tense, like you have done sth. At the same time, I believe it also slightly expressed a causal relationship in this sentence, you lost 3 pounds because of walking. (I'm just a chinese student which is learning English, so it could be not so right. Hope that could help you.)

Answer

Hi~ o(*￣▽￣*)ブ  
I'm glad to be able to help you with your Chinese study.
But my English is not very good.I try to express my meaning in English and Chinese so that you can understand it.
In a Chinese conversation, second 了 is not necessary.If you put it, the meaning of the sentence does not change~

Answer

了 have three patterns in Chinese
subject-verb-了-object
subject-verb-object-了
subject-verb-了-object-了
for example: 我吃了饭，我吃饭了，我吃了饭了
another example：Tom上了课，Tom上课了，Tom上了课了
all is the same meaning and use very common in China,just different tones shows different emotion

Answer

加了会显得更口语化，比较自然一些。
with了，it sounds more natural.
