Compound-Complex Sentences | Learning English

The video tutorial explains the differences between compound, complex, and compound complex sentences. It reviews the structure of compound sentences, which consist of two or more independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction. Complex sentences are described as having an independent clause and a dependent clause. The tutorial then introduces compound complex sentences, which combine elements of both compound and complex sentences, featuring at least two independent clauses and one dependent clause. Examples are provided for each sentence type, and viewers are encouraged to practice identifying sentence components.
