The video tutorial by Laura and Bez from Smashing English covers the four types of conditionals in English grammar: zero, first, second, and third. Each conditional is explained with examples, focusing on their structure and usage. The zero conditional is used for general truths, the first for likely future events, the second for hypothetical situations, and the third for imagining past scenarios. The video concludes with practice tips and encourages viewers to engage with the content through writing or speaking exercises.
