Every triangle will tessellate and, since there are infinitely many possible triangles, there are infinitely many shapes that can be used for tessellation. On the other hand, in any single tessellation you can only use a finite number of shapes.

commonly used tessellation shapes
A regular tessellation is a tessellation composed entirely of congruent polygons - meaning that ALL shapes in the tessellation are the same. Only 3 regular tessellations exist: equilateral triangles, regular hexagons, and squares. A tessellation is any pattern of shapes which can be repeated infinitely throughout a plane without leaving any "spaces" between the connected patterns and also without any of the shapes overlapping each other.
Many shapes can form tessalation, but the most easiest is probably a square!
A tessellation is a method for using copies of a single shape to cover a plane surface without gaps or overlaps. Semi-regular tessellations use two (or more) shapes.
They are Shapes THey are patterns lol
