Understanding Sentence Structures

The video tutorial explains the differences between simple, compound, and complex sentences. Simple sentences consist of a noun and a verb. Compound sentences are formed by joining two simple sentences with coordinating conjunctions like 'and', 'but', or 'so'. Complex sentences involve subordinate conjunctions such as 'if', 'since', or 'though', creating a dependency between clauses. The tutorial also covers relative clauses and provides examples for each sentence type.
