The video tutorial explains the use of adjectives in English, focusing on comparative and superlative forms. It begins with an introduction to adjectives, describing their role in modifying nouns. The tutorial then delves into positive adjectives, which describe a single noun, and comparative adjectives, which compare two nouns by adding 'er' to the adjective. Superlative adjectives, used to compare three or more nouns, are formed by adding 'est'. Exceptions to these rules are also discussed, such as using 'more' or 'most' for adjectives with more than three syllables and irregular adjectives like 'good' and 'bad'. The video concludes with a summary of these concepts.
