This easy version of F introduces barring where 1 finger frets more than one string. In this case the first finger will push down on the first and second strings in the first fret. The second finger, second fret, third string and third finger, third fret, fourth string.
Play each note separately to ensure that they ring clear. This is more difficult when barring and will take practice.

F Major consists of the notes F, A, and C. The note F is played on the fourth string, A on the third string, C on the second string and F again on the first string.

Practice playing the F chord and work on clean chords.
Listen for and sing the notes of the chord.

In the key of C, F Major is the chord that is built on the fourth degree of the C Major scale.
This is known as the IV chord and subdominant. The IV chord is a very common chord and the progression from I to IV is one of the most common chord progressions.
The differences between the C and F chords on guitar are pretty small and with a little practice can be switched between fairly easily.

Practice switching between C and F. Play 2 bars of C and then 2 bars of F.
Sing the root notes of each chord and learn the sound of the change from I to IV.
