May 10, 2016 at 16:49 comment added Lex They both can be translated as "also" however while 还 has a neutral emphasis. 又 is used in negative situations, A又B implies that B is something you didn't want to happen again. In the first sentence, you buy some grapes again, while in the second sentence unfortunate events happen again
May 10, 2016 at 16:41 comment added Mou某 As for the purchasing of items (我买了香蕉、苹果还买了葡萄。 and 他要买肉又要买鱼。) I would say 还 seems like you bought them at the same time/same place, whereas 又 makes it sound like you had to make another trip to another place or bought it later. Which is clear, also, with your 昨天没考好,**现在**又 splitting yesterday and now.
