1. Consensual Contract - a contract that is perfected by mere
consent or by the mere meeting of the minds between the contracting parties.
Example: Contract of sale, contract of agency
2. Real Contract - it is perfected from the moment that there is
a delivery of the subject matter. It is not necessary that there is only a meeting of the mind, in a real contract, there must be the delivery of the intended subject matter in order to have a perfected real contract.
Example: Contract complex, contract of deposit, contract of
commodatum
3. Unilateral Contract - a contract whereby there is only one
party who will be required to perform the obligation.
