Fridrich (CFOP) Method

Case 2: Corner and Edge in Top Layer (Type 1)

The "Corner and Edge in Top Layer" cases are the most common cases in F2L. For the type 1 cases, the corner is moved into the bottom layer so the edge can be moved without disturbing the corner. The result is one of the four basic cases. Do these moves slowly and watch how they work. These cases are all very similar, so once you understand the method, you can apply it to all of them.
