There are two categories of text types in English - literary and factual. Each text type has specific structural and language features. Some examples of text types include narratives which entertain through a series of events, reports which classify and describe using technical language, and explanations which explain how or why something occurs through identifying phenomena and establishing cause-and-effect sequences.
