 ## The Query and Mutation types
 
-Most types in your schema will just be normal object types, but there are two types that are special within a schema:
-
-```graphql
-schema {
-  query: Query
-  mutation: Mutation
-}
-```
-
-Every GraphQL service has a `query` type and may or may not have a `mutation` type. These types are the same as a regular object type, but they are special because they define the _entry point_ of every GraphQL query. So if you see a query that looks like:

-Mutations work in a similar way - you define fields on the `Mutation` type, and those are available as the root mutation fields you can call in your query.
+Schemas may also choose to support `mutation` operations by adding another entry point type, by default called `Mutation`. Mutations work in a similar way to queries - you define fields on the `Mutation` type, and those are available as the root mutation fields you can call in your mutation operation.
 
-It's important to remember that other than the special status of being the "entry point" into the schema, the `Query` and `Mutation` types are the same as any other GraphQL object type, and their fields work exactly the same way.

+You can choose to name your entry point types differently; if you choose to do so then you will need to inform GraphQL of the new names using the `schema` keyword:

+```graphql
+schema {
+  query: MyQueryType
+  mutation: MyMutationType
+}
