No.

Each interior angle of a regular pentagon is 108 degrees. In order for tessellation to be possible, the sum of the angles meeting at a point must be 360 degrees. That is to ensure that all the space around that point is covered. But 108 is not a factor of 360 so it is not possible.

What is a semi regular tessellation?

Semi-regular tessellation is a tessellation of the plane by 2 or more different convex regular polygons. A semi-regular tessellation combines two or more regular polygons. Each semi-regular tessellation has a tupelo, which designates what kind of regular polygon is used.

Tessellations that use more than one type of regular polygon are called regular tessellations?

No. Regular tessellations use only one polygon. And, according to the strict definition of regular tessellation, the polygon must be regular. Then a tessellation using rectangles, for example, cannot be called regular.
