What are arguments?
A lot of the commands make use of arguments, which are extra details that come after the command. Here is an example:
/gamemode survival
The command is "/gamemode", and the argument is "survival", which means you are telling the game to set your gamemode to Survival Mode.
What are targets?
Some commands require a target. Here is a list with different possibilities:
@p (targets the nearest player)
@r (targets a random player)
@a (targets every player)
