Contrast and Result Words in Sentences

The video tutorial by Mark focuses on teaching four important connectors in English: 'because', 'so', 'but', and 'although'. Each connector is explained with examples to show how they are used to connect ideas in sentences. 'Because' is used to provide reasons, 'so' is used to indicate results, 'but' is used to show contrast, and 'although' is also used for contrast but can be placed at the beginning or middle of a sentence. The tutorial concludes with a call to practice using these connectors in sentences.
