Some 3D shapes will tessellate as for example a brick wall
Yes. Any shape can tessellate if you allow other shapes. The simplest way is to select the other shapes so that the given shape and the "other shapes" can be combined to make a rectangle or square.
strait up yes
Shapes can tessellate only if a number of them can meet at a point and cover 360 degrees without overlap. For regular shapes this requires that the angles of the shape are a factor of 360 degrees. For non-regular shapes it is necessary that the angles of the shapes can be grouped so that they sum to 360 degrees.
No not all shapes tessellate.
For any polygon, there will be other shapes such that, together, they can tessellate.
I believe that regular shapes will only tessellate if the sum of their internal angles is a multiple of 180.
yes, most regular shapes can tessellate :)

Yes it does tessellate. * * * * * That is simply not true. No polygon with 7 or more sides will tessellate with identical shapes.
If their shapes are suitably matched they can tessellate together.

noX YES! They CAN tessellate! Triangles, squares, and hexagons are the only shapes that can tessellate by themselves! So yes, squares can tesselate!
circles and octagon do not tessellate as they overlap each other or leave spaces between them.
There are decagonal shapes which will tessellate the plane.
