There are several types of sonnets, but the most widely-known is the Shakespearean Sonnet, which is always written in iambic pentameter. This sonnet form is comprised of three quatrains and a rhyming couplet at the end.
The rhyme scheme is:
Stanza/Quatrain 1: ABAB
Stanza/Quatrain 2: CDCD
Stanza/Quatrain 3: EFEF
Couplet (two lines): GG
Shakespeare's sonnets are usually ABAB CDCD EFEF GG.

∙ 11y agoThe rhyme scheme of a Shakespearen Sonnet is a crossed rhyme, meaning that the first line rhymes with the third and the second with the forth.
e.g. from Sonnet 18
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? (a)
Thou art more lovely and more temperate: (b)
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, (a)
And summer's lease hath all too short a date: (b)
The first line ends with day (-ay), thus the third ends with May (-ay); The second line ends with temperate (-ate) and the fourth with date (-ate).
This same pattern is repeated for lines five to eight with different rhymes and again with different rhymes for line nine to twelve. The poem concludes with a couplet, a pair of rhyming lines as in Sonnet 18:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see (g)
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee (g)
a-b-a-b
c-d-c-d
e-f-e-f
g-g

∙ 12y agoIf it's a Shakespearean Sonnet it probably goes ababcdcdefefgg, but if it's an Italian Sonnet it might go abbaabbacdcdcd. Italian sonnets vary in the last six lines but the first eight are always abbaabba.
