If we have a parallelogram where all sides are congruent then we have what is called a rhombus. The properties of parallelograms can be applied on rhombi. If we have a quadrilateral where one pair and only one pair of sides are parallel then we have what is called a trapezoid.
These types can be grouped into three main types of quadrilaterals: general, parallelogram and trapezoid. A rectangle and a rhombus are also parallelograms because they have two pairs of sides that are parallel. A square is also a rectangle because it has four right angles and is a parallelogram because it has two pairs of parallel sides.
