Welcome to the Forum!
Beside @Forpli's Questions: What Keyboard Size do You have? 60%, 65%, TKL, Full?
Hello and welcome,
it sounds like your layout might be set to UK/British English instead of US English (or another layout depending on your region).
Here what you want US English Qwerty
So do what suggest
@Forpli anf change your input source
Thanks for all the help, the last layout is what I have. US English Qwerty. So how do I set it up or activate it. Please remember it is only my second day with Linux, and I am a BBC Child - Born Before Computers. But willing to learn.

Please help me. Thanks
