Here are some commonly used block type elements:

p - Specifying paragraphs of text.
pre - Specifying pre-formatted text.
blockquote - Specifying quoted paragraphs of text.
h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 - Specifying headings of different levels.
hr - Specifying horizontal rules.
ul, ol, dl - Specifying lists of items.
table - Specifying tables of columns and rows.
form - Specifying forms with input fields.
script - Specifying client-side script codes.
