The only time I have played with apperature was during rolling shots, I keep it at like 11 and it seems to work, but I dont know HOW. Its like if I have it at 11, I get the wheels spinning and a moving background, if I set it to like 8 the wheels dont spin as much and the background is sharper.

M, TV, AV are probably the 3 modes most will use, depending on the situation.
For what I shoot, I use TV when I want to control motion, eg drifting, rolling shots
M when I can control the lighting and it stays consistent or night photography
TV for everything else
Read up on the basics on how aperture, shutter speed and ISO are tied together. You'll eventually adjust all three settings to get the type of image you're shooting for.
For rolling shots, you'll probably want to shoot in TV mode and set the shutter speed to about 1/30 or faster. It'll set the aperture based upon your ISO setting and the lighting. There are times when you want to control both the aperture and shutter speed, so the only variable is the lighting. As you get more advanced, you'll learn how to control the lighting if it doesn't allow you to get the settings you want; this is where ND filters come in to play but this is probably way beyond what you want to read about right now.
Most can hand hold down to 1/30-1/45 at 55 mm without IS.
If you're practicing, shoot outdoors during the day and you won't have to worry about having sufficient lighting.
