Why is it 휴식 시간을 주다 instead of just 휴식을 주다 or 쉬는 시간을 주다?

1. 휴식 시간 is a noun phrase meaning “break time.” You need 시간 after 휴식 to specify a duration (“time”).
2. 쉬는 시간 is also possible (“time for resting”), but 휴식 시간 sounds slightly more formal.
3. You cannot drop 시간 if you want to emphasize the period given; 휴식을 주다 without 시간 is incomplete.

What is the function of -줘서 in 줘서 좋아?

-줘서 is the contracted colloquial form of -주어서, which is the connective form of 주다 (“to give”) plus -서 (“because/and”). It links the giving of break time to the resulting feeling.
You could say:

• 휴식 시간을 주어서 좋아. (more formal)
• 휴식 시간을 줘서 좋아. (colloquial)

Could you use -주니까 instead of -줘서?
