This video tutorial discusses three common sentence problems: fragments, comma splices, and run-on sentences. Fragments are incomplete sentences missing a subject or verb. Comma splices occur when two independent clauses are joined by a comma without a conjunction. Run-on sentences are two sentences combined without proper punctuation. The video provides examples and solutions for each type of sentence problem, emphasizing the importance of correct sentence structure.
