Detailed explanation-2: -These sonnets are sometimes referred to as Elizabethan sonnets or English sonnets. They have 14 lines divided into 4 subgroups: 3 quatrains and a couplet. Each line is typically ten syllables, phrased in iambic pentameter. A Shakespearean sonnet employs the rhyme scheme ABAB CDCD EFEF GG.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Main Types of Sonnet. In the English-speaking world, we usually refer to three discrete types of sonnet: the Petrarchan, the Shakespearean, and the Spenserian. All of these maintain the features outlined above-fourteen lines, a volta, iambic pentameter-and they all three are written in sequences.
