Classes implement interfaces. Abstract classes are being inherited. A class can inherit from one class, but implement as many interfaces as you want it to.
However, interfaces can also “inherit” other interfaces. They don’t really implement them, so it’s more like inheriting their interface contracts, but they can implement multiple interfaces, so it’s not really inheritance either. A class that will implement an interface which inherits from other interfaces, will have to implement all interface contracts that are included in the original interface, and it’s base interfaces as well, recursively.
You should also read about abstract classes, for more useful information on the general subject.
