The video tutorial explains the three degrees of adjectives: positive, comparative, and superlative. The positive degree describes a quality without comparison, the comparative degree compares two entities, and the superlative degree compares more than two. Various rules for forming these degrees are discussed, including adding 'er' and 'est', handling adjectives ending in 'e' or 'y', and using 'more' and 'most' for adjectives with two or more syllables. Exceptions to these rules are also covered.
