Yes a rectangle is a special case of the parallelogram (one where any and all angles are 90°). Parallelograms are sometimes rectangles, but not always.

The parallelogram is itself a special case of the trapezoid where at least one pair of opposite sides is parallel.

the trapezoid is a special case of the quadrilateral, a planar convex figure with four sides.

All parallelograms are rectangles Always, Sometimes, or Never?

Never, honey. Just because a parallelogram has those fancy opposite sides that are parallel, doesn't mean it automatically becomes a rectangle. Rectangles have those nice right angles, while parallelograms can be all slanted and sassy. So, keep those shapes in check, darling.
