The video tutorial explains the use of apostrophes to show possession in English grammar. It covers singular possession, where an apostrophe is placed before the 's', and plural possession, where the apostrophe is placed after the 's'. The tutorial also discusses exceptions for plural words that do not end in 's', such as 'children' and 'people', where an apostrophe 's' is used. The video concludes with a recap of these rules and emphasizes the importance of correctly placing apostrophes to indicate possession.
