The three basic types or forms of the syllogism are categorical, conditional, and disjunctive. Universal, conditional, nonconditional are not the correct categorization of syllogisms. Valid, invalid, and unsound refer to the quality of the syllogism rather than the form. True, false, and uncertain are not relevant to the categorization of syllogisms.
