The two types of clitics are proclitics and enclitics.
1. Proclitic: A proclitic is a clitic that attaches to the beginning of a word.
Example: In French, the proclitic "je" attaches to the verb "ai" to form "j'ai" meaning "I have."
2. Enclitic: An enclitic is a clitic that attaches to the end of a word.
Example: In English, the enclitic "'ll" attaches to the pronoun "you" to form "you'll" meaning "you will."

- Clitic pronouns are unstressed pronouns that attach to verbs or nouns. They are used to indicate the grammatical function of the noun or pronoun, such as subject, object, or indirect object. For example, the clitic pronoun "me" in the sentence "He gave me the book" indicates that the speaker is the indirect object of the verb "gave."
- Clitic particles are unstressed words that attach to verbs or nouns to add emphasis or meaning. They can be used to indicate the speaker's attitude, such as surprise, emphasis, or negation. For example, the clitic particle "too" in the sentence "I'm happy too" indicates that the speaker is also happy.
