The video tutorial explains coordinating conjunctions, which join words, phrases, or independent clauses. It introduces the FANBOYS mnemonic to remember the seven conjunctions: for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so. The tutorial covers how conjunctions join nouns, verbs, adverbs, and adjectives, and discusses comma usage in lists and independent clauses. It also explains joining phrases without commas and using conjunctive adverbs like 'however' and 'moreover' with semicolons and commas. The video concludes with a summary of these rules.
