Exploring Compound and Complex Sentences

This video tutorial covers different types of sentences: simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex. It explains the structure of each sentence type, including the use of independent and dependent clauses, coordinating and subordinating conjunctions. The tutorial provides examples and encourages students to practice by mimicking sentence structures and applying them in exercises.
