Learn Korean: Noun + 도 Noun + 도

Let's take a look at the pattern Noun + 도, Noun + 도. The word 도 means also or too when attached to nouns most of the time. In English, it is enough to use these words once in a sentence, but in Korean, it is possible and even natural to use 도 twice or more in one sentences such as when you enumerate things you did in a day. Of course, a verb should come in between them and they may be different or the same.
