What are the different types of breach of contract?

The different types of breach of contract are:
a)Anticipatory breach
b)Present breach.
i) Anticipatory breach : When the breach happens before the date when the promisor had to perform his obligations and signifies his intention not to do it , he will not be bound by it. In such a situation the other party need not perform his obligations. He also becomes entitled to claim damages from the promisor immediately or after the time when the promise was to be performed.
If the promisee waits till time of performance it shall result in :

The promisee changing his mind and performing his obligation when he should. In such situation, the promisee is bound to accept such performance.

The contract in such situation is alive and some situation arises (obviously not repudiation) resulting in the contract being discharged. For e.g. it becomes impossible to perform the contract. In such cases the promisee cannot sue for damages.
The promisee being entitled to assess damages only from the date the repudiation is accepted.

b) Present Breach : When the promisor indicates his refusal to perform his obligation at the time of performance it amounts to a present breach.
