AQA A level Maths C4 Vectors Shapes

Does anybody know or have a list of which shapes we need to know for vector questions and what properties they have?

For example, in 1 C4 paper we were expected to know that a Rhomus is a shape where all 4 sides are equal and in other questions, the properties of shapes have been important for getting the last few marks in vector questions.

So does anybody have an exhaustive list of all the shapes we need to know?

Thanks to anybody who can help

It's the same shapes that you were expected to know about for GCSE - there's nothing new here. Thus there's really no excuse at this level for not knowing what a rhombus is, for example. For a list, see http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/maths/geometry/polygonsrev2.shtml from GCSE Bitesize.
