Sulphuric acid, H2SO4H2SO4, is a dibasic acid. This is a fancy way of saying that it has 2 replaceable hydrogens.
H2SO4⇌HSO−4+H+H2SO4⇌HSO4−+H+
HSO−4⇌SO2−4+H+HSO4−⇌SO42−+H+
So, it is absolutely true that it forms 2 series of salts.
One is where the anion is HSO−4HSO4−. These salts are caalled bisulphates or hydrogen sulphates.
The second is where the (di)anion is SO2−4SO42−. These salts are called sulphates.
Under different reaction conditions, it is able to control which of the salts you get.
