A parallelogram is a quadrilateral (4-sided figure) with both pairs of opposite sides parallel. That's usually the primary definition. There are properties common to all parallelograms: opposite sides are congruent, opposite angles are congruent, and diagonals bisect each other. Other special parallelograms have additional properties. A rectangle is a parallelogram with four right angles and its diagonals are congruent. A rhombus is a parallelogram with four congruent sides. Its diagonals are perpendicular and each diagonal bisects two angles of the rhombus. A square is a parallelogram as well. It has four right angles and four congruent sides, so it is also a rectangle and a rhombus. How's that for confusing???
