Question

identifying sonnet types
sort the tiles according to whether they describe elements of an english sonnet or an italian sonnet.
sestet
three quatrains
octave
couplet
english sonnet
italian sonnet

Explanation:

• English Sonnet: Typically has three quatrains (each a 4 - line stanza) and a final couplet (2 - line stanza). So "three quatrains" and "couplet" belong here.
• Italian Sonnet: Consists of an octave (8 - line stanza) and a sestet (6 - line stanza). So "octave" (note: there was a typo as "ociave" which should be "octave") and "sestet" belong here.

Answer:

English Sonnet: three quatrains, couplet
Italian Sonnet: octave (ociave), sestet
