There are several classic examples for inheritance. They usually define a class for a generic entity as the base class, and then extend it to a more refined, specialized class. A person class in an organization may be extended to an employee class of that organization. An employee class may be further extended to a manager class. Likewise, an automobile class may be the base class in a car dealership. It may be extended to a sedan class, a truck class, or a sports class. Each of these classes may be further refined to classes of specific makes and models.
