Yes - smaller aperture = larger number, as Mike says kit lenses generally benefit from stopping down a little.
Regarding the various modes, personally I would practice with one mode and get familiar with that, rather than randomly switching between them which might end up confusing things. If the first two of your images above are your 'preferred' subject, then I would start with Av which will give you more control over the depth of field.

Thanks Phil you are right. I am practicing Yes - smaller aperture = larger number, as Mike says kit lenses generally benefit from stopping down a little.

If you are shooting Raw then 9/10 times you will need to process the files (sharpness, contrast etc) to get the most out of them.
I don't see much of a sharpness issue with the last one tbh but I notice you are shooting with an aperture of f5.6 @ 200mm, ISO 400 when you could increase your ISO a touch and then use a smaller f stop. Kit lenses are always best stopped down a notch or two if possible.
If you are coming from a point and shoot don't expect punchy sharp pictures straight out of the camera, a DSLR needs a bit more work but it's worth it in the end.
Thanks Mike yes, it seems that DSLR needs a bit more work. I am practicing randomly on P, Av, Tv and M mode.If you are shooting Raw then 9/10 times you will need to process the files (sharpness, contrast etc) to get the most out of them.

Smaller f stop means increasing f number? like f8?
