A quadrilateral is a shape with four sides. A parallelogram is a quadrilateral that has two pairs of parallel sides (i.e. the sides opposite each other are parallel). A rectangle, for example, is a parallelogram. A trapezoid, however, is an example of a quadrilateral that is not a parallelogram - it has four sides, but only two of them are parallel to each other.
