Are most metals that are ductile malleable as well? Because that would
make it easier to understand...

Metals in general are malleable and ductile... Maybe it would help to
think of dry or weak clay. You can press it into shape - it's malleable
- but for the life of you, you just can't pull on it at all without it
breaking up. It has no ductility.
