The video tutorial discusses how to use measurements with non-count nouns, which cannot be counted or made plural. It explains that words like 'some' and 'a lot of' are not specific, and introduces specific measurements such as 'a bottle of oil' or 'a piece of cheese' to quantify non-count nouns. These measurements can also apply to count nouns, like 'a bag of apples'. The tutorial provides various examples and emphasizes the use of 'a' with a measurement and 'of' to indicate the quantity of non-count nouns.
