The video tutorial explains the role of vowels, focusing on the letter Y, which can function as both a vowel and a consonant. It details the conditions under which Y is considered a vowel, such as when it appears in words without other vowels, at the end of a word or syllable, or in the middle of a syllable. The tutorial also provides examples and a method to identify whether Y is acting as a vowel or consonant based on its sound. The word 'mystery' is used as a case study to illustrate these concepts.
