Hello Steph, The Finder is the application that manages all your files and folders, the Dock is a bar across the bottom of your screen where you keep shortcuts to your favourite applications and folders, and the Desktop is where you can find the internal hard drive and any other volumes connected to your Mac. You can also use your Desktop as temporary accommodation for files and folders you're currently working on and haven't decided where to keep yet.
I usually save Mail attachments to my Desktop until I can decide whether to keep them or not. Cmd-Shift-A takes you straight to your Applications folder, Cmd-Shift-U to your Utilities folder, Cmd-Shift-O to your Documents folder and Cmd-Shift-H to your Home folder.
