아/어다가 주다 vs 아/어 주다
Hello :)
Could you explain the difference between 아/어다가 주다 and 아/어 주다 (아/어다가 드리다 vs 아/어 드리다) please?
For example
1. 고객님께서 원하시면 댁 근처까지 모셔다 드립니다.
2. 친구를 자동차로 태워다가 주었어요.
Why in these cases was "아/어다가 주다/드리다" used? (not just "아/어 주다/드리다")
감사합니다!!!

-다 주다 is a shortening of -다가 주다, so there is no significant difference.
-다가 has a few different usages other than -다가 주다, and all of them can be shortened to -다. When you want to drag out the phrase (because you need time to think or to emphasize it), you can use -다가. Otherwise, simple -다 is more common.
Both of your examples are equally natural with 다 or 다가.
