The video tutorial from Learning Depot explains how to reduce adjective clauses, which are dependent clauses that modify nouns or pronouns. It covers five methods of reduction: to an adjective, an adjective phrase, a present participle, a past participle, and a prepositional phrase. The tutorial also discusses when not to reduce clauses, such as when the action is completed or when the subject differs.
