I agree with every word that Mike says but would just add that as you increase the shutter speed and the aperture opens up wider you will eventually reach the maximum aperture of the lens. If you keep on increasing shutter speed after that the camera will under-expose. But there will be an indicator in the viewfinder to warn you of this.

There is a fair bit to learn at the start but you'll get there and have a lot of fun on the way!
