Combining Sentences Techniques

The video tutorial by Mrs. Regal explains how to effectively combine sentences to connect ideas, reduce repetition, and create variety. It covers using commas and conjunctions, such as 'and', to form compound sentences. The tutorial also discusses combining sentences with the same subject or predicate and inserting phrases from one sentence into another without using conjunctions. The video concludes with a call to practice these techniques.
