So I hope you practiced case 1 well. Only then would you be able to understand case 2.

Learn how to read (case 2):

Consonant (C)
      ↓
Vowel (V)

      =

   | C|
   | V|

Examples:

ㄷ(C)
    ↓
ㅗ(V)
    =
   도
| C|
| V|

도 means too.

We learnt 너 in the last lesson. If we write 너+도, it becomes 너도= you too.

주다 is a verb that means "to give"
Let's break it apart lol

ㅈ(C)
   ↓
ㅜ(V)
   =
  주
|C|
|V|

And

ㄷ(C) + ㅏ(V) =다 (CV)

Therefore, 주 + 다= 주다

Actually, 다 means "all" but when it is a part of a word (there is not any space between them), in that case, -다 is a particle used to form verbs.

Lemme explain with examples.
다 바나나 = all bananas
다 = all  &  바나나 = banana

But if it is
주다 (there is no space in between), it means we are talking about a verb.
주다 = 'TO' give

That's it for today ;)
