The video tutorial explains two types of questions: thick and thin. Thick questions require deeper thinking and evidence from the text, allowing for multiple answers. Examples include 'how' or 'why' questions. Thin questions are straightforward, often with one-word answers found directly in the text, such as 'who' or 'when' questions. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of using both types to enhance comprehension and critical thinking.
