Я перечитал это место в книге ещё раз.

Перечитал means reread or read again.

The prefix пере- often adds the idea of doing something again. So:

• читать = to read
• прочитать = to read through, to finish reading
• перечитать = to reread

In this sentence, Я перечитал... tells us the speaker read that part again, and also presents it as a completed action.

Because перечитал is perfective, it sounds like: I reread it (and finished rereading it).

This is an aspect question.

• перечитал = perfective, completed action
• перечитывал = imperfective, process / repeated activity / background action

So:

• Я перечитал это место... = I reread this passage / I went back and reread it
• Я перечитывал это место... = I was rereading this passage or I used to reread this passage

In your sentence, the speaker is talking about one finished action, so перечитал is the natural choice.

Yes, место usually means place, but in the context of a book or text, it can also mean a place in the text, that is, a passage, section, or spot.

So это место в книге literally means this place in the book, but in natural English we usually translate it as:

• this passage in the book
• this part of the book
• this spot in the book

This usage is very common in Russian.

Because место is a neuter noun.

Russian demonstratives must agree with the noun in gender, number, and case:

• этот = masculine
• эта = feminine
• это = neuter
• эти = plural

Since место is neuter, you need это:

• это место = this passage / this place

Also, in this sentence это место is in the accusative, but for an inanimate neuter noun, the accusative looks the same as the nominative, so it still appears as это место.

В книге is in the prepositional case.

That is because в can mean:

• in / inside a location → usually takes the prepositional
• into a place, showing motion → usually takes the accusative

Here there is no movement into the book. It means the passage is located in the book, so:

• в книге = in the book

Compare:

• в книге = in the book
• в книгу = into the book

Because the sentence is talking about the location of the passage inside the book, not its source.

• это место в книге = this passage in the book
• это место из книги would sound more like this passage from the book

So в книге focuses on where that passage is found, while из книги would emphasize that it comes from that book.

In this sentence, в книге is the more natural choice.

Ещё раз means once more, one more time, or again.

So:

• Я перечитал это место в книге ещё раз. = I reread this passage in the book once more.

It emphasizes repetition very clearly.

A useful comparison:

• снова = again
• ещё раз = one more time / again

Both can often be translated as again, but ещё раз strongly highlights the idea of an additional repetition.

Russian word order is fairly flexible, and ещё раз can move around depending on emphasis.

Your sentence:

• Я перечитал это место в книге ещё раз.

Also possible:

• Я ещё раз перечитал это место в книге.
• Это место в книге я перечитал ещё раз.

These versions are all understandable, but the emphasis changes slightly.

A very neutral way is often:

• Я ещё раз перечитал это место в книге.

Putting ещё раз near the verb often makes the repetition feel more directly connected to the action of rereading.

Yes, Russian often can drop the subject pronoun when it is obvious from the verb ending.

So you could say:

• Перечитал это место в книге ещё раз.

However, Я is often included for:

• clarity
• contrast
• emphasis
• natural conversational rhythm

Since перечитал already shows masculine singular past, the subject can be understood, but using Я is completely normal and often sounds more explicit.

The form перечитал is past tense masculine singular.

So this sentence would typically be said by a male speaker.

Compare:

• Я перечитал = I reread it. (male speaker)
• Я перечитала = I reread it. (female speaker)
• Мы перечитали = We reread it.

So the ending gives grammatical information about the speaker.

Grammatically, yes, but that would sound unnatural in English.

Russian often uses место where English prefers passage, part, or spot when talking about text. So the best natural translations are things like:

• I reread this passage in the book.
• I read this part of the book again.
• I reread this spot in the book.

So even though место literally means place, in translation you usually want a more natural English word.
