Various type of half cells.
 
Gas ion half cell:
Pt(H2)/H+  , Pt(Cl2)/Cl-
 
Metal metal ion half cell:
Ag/Ag+(aq)
 
Metal insoluable salt anion half cell:
Ag,AgCl/Cl- (aq)

okie dear don't worry lemme try.
 
c for gas ion half cell reaction is
1/2 H2(g)--------------> H+(aq) + e-
 now u can c that hydrogen gas is geting converted into H+ ion by losing electron so the cell reaction w'll be
 Pt(H2)/H+(aq)
