Stacked form: The stacked form creates input field and submit button in stacked format. 
Example: 

HTML




<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <title>Bootstrap Form</title>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta name="viewport"
        content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href=
    <script src=
    </script>
    <script src=

    <script src=
    </script>
</head>
<body>
    <h1 class="text-success text-center">
        GeeksforGeeks
    </h1>
    <h2 class="text-center">Stacked form</h2>
    <div class="container">
        <form action="#">
            <div class="form-group">
                <label for="fname">First Name:</label>
                <input type="text" class="form-control" id="fname"
                    placeholder="Enter First Name" name="fname">
            </div>
            <div class="form-group">
                <label for="lname">Last Name:</label>
                <input type="text" class="form-control" id="lname"
                    placeholder="Enter Last Name" name="lname">
            </div>
            <div class="form-group">
                <label for="email">Email Id:</label>
                <input type="email" class="form-control" id="email"
                    placeholder="Enter Email Id" name="email">
            </div>
            <div class="form-group">
                <label for="contact">Contact No:</label>
                <input type="text" class="form-control" id="contact"
                    placeholder="Enter Contact Number" name="contact">
            </div>
            <div class="form-group form-check">
                <label class="form-check-label">
                    <input class="form-check-input" type="checkbox"
                        name="remember">
                        Remember me
                </label>
            </div>
            <button type="submit" class="btn bg-success">
                Submit
            </button>
        </form>
    </div>
</body>
</html>


Output: 

Inline Form: The .form-inline class is used with <form> element to create inline form. The inline form contains elements that are left-aligned and inline. The inline property applies when viewports are at least 576px wide. If screen size is smaller than 576px then the form element will be stacked vertically.
