There are no hard-and-fast rules, but generally a Shaksperian Sonnet will have fourteen lines with three groups of four, followed by a pair at the end.

Petrarchian sonnets have eight lines in two groups of four, and there are still further types with differing numbers. Usually, however, the Shaksperean form is used.
