The three main purposes for writing are: to inform, to persuade, and to entertain.

- To inform: convey facts, explain, or teach (e.g., news, reports, how-to guides).
- To persuade: convince the reader to adopt a viewpoint or take action (e.g., editorials, ads).
- To entertain: amuse or engage the reader (e.g., stories, poems, novels).

"To impress" and "to prevent" are not considered the primary categories.
