Choose linking words carefully

doesn't mention

2:24

social media yet in this context is a

2:27

synonym of but if you think the sentence

2:28

is too basic with but use yeah but

2:31

sometimes it's okay to use words like

2:33

and but because so

2:36

for or

2:38

these are words that we use they're very

2:39

common and they're common because

2:41

they're very useful

2:42

so that's my first tip try to use more

2:44

compound sentences tip number two today

2:47

is to use more relative clauses in your

2:50

sentences

2:51

now they could be defining or

2:53

non-defining clauses or both in

2:56

different sentences of course the

2:58

examiners in the cambridge english exams

3:00

are looking for

3:02

a range a wide range of grammatical

3:04

structures so this is a very simple way

3:07

of forming more complex sentences

3:09

and using another grammatical structure

3:12

so with relative clauses you'd use one

3:14

of these words who who's that which

3:18

where

3:18

and when those are your options now as i

3:21

said they could be defining the relative

3:23

clauses or non-defining relative clauses

3:26

now don't worry too much about the the

3:29

terminology and the grammar

3:31

when you see the examples i'm sure

3:32

you'll understand better and you'll see

3:35

that it's not so complicated
