Government monopoly
In this market, there are many companies, but each one sells slightly different products. Even though there are a lot of competitors, each company has some control over its price because their product is a bit unique. Examples include restaurants or clothing stores.
Monopolistic Competition
This is when there are lots of companies selling exactly the same product. Because of the large number of sellers, they can't control prices and must sell at the same price as everyone else. Examples include farming (like selling wheat or corn).
Pure Competition:
determined by the overall demand and supply in the market, rather than any single seller’s influence. This means sellers have no power to set their prices because many other businesses offer similar products.
