Illustrator - Paths vs Compound Path vs Shapes - Demystified

Beginner Illustrator users are often confused about the difference between paths, compound paths and shapes like lines and rectangles. I'll explain what these are and what, if any, of the differences really matter. You will learn what a shape is and how to change it to a Path and why some paths are compound paths and must stay that way and why some compound paths can be converted to regular paths. This short video should answer most of your questions as to why your Illustrator file looks as it does.
If you have more questions, feel free to ask them in the comments below and I'll try to help out.
