The video tutorial explains the differences between dialogue, flow, and colon quotes. It covers how to format each type correctly, emphasizing the use of commas and capitalization. Dialogue quotes require a pause and are often full sentences, while flow quotes do not pause and are not full sentences. Colon quotes involve complete thoughts on either side of the colon. The tutorial provides examples to illustrate these concepts.
