16. Verbal irony
When a speaker or writer says one thing but actually means the opposite.
For example, when your mom walks into your filthy bedroom and says, “I see you’ve cleaned your room!” Sarcasm is one type of verbal irony.
To find the verbal irony, ask yourself, what is really being said? If what the person actually says is not exactly what the person really means, you likely have verbal irony.

17. Situational irony
When the outcome of a situation is inconsistent with what we expect would logically or normally occur. It is the reverse of what we expect will be or happen.
An example of situational irony would be if a thief’s house was broken into at the same time he was robbing someone’s house.
To find the situational irony, ask yourself what were you expecting would happen or what did you expect it to be? If the situation is something different than what we expect would happen or is the opposite of what you might expect someone would say or do, then it is likely situational irony.

18. Dramatic irony
When the audience or the reader is aware of something that a character does not know.
For example, when Romeo believes Juliet is dead, but the audience knows that she has only been given a potion to sleep.
To identify dramatic irony, ask yourself what did you already know happened or was going to happen?

Pondered weak and weary.
Edgar Allen Poe
