I'm trying to learn how to play and I understand what community cards are, what they do, who goes first/last, etc, but how do the cards in your hand effect the game? I can't find the answer anywhere and it's getting confusing.

You make your best hand out of your 2 cards and the up to 5 cards on the table.

So if you have 2 aces and there's 1 ace and 2 king on the flop, the best hand is a full house. 3 ace and 2 king.

If the next card is a ace, it's now 4 aces.

    AKK flop best hand would be KKKKA. Holding AA on an AKK flop gives you second nuts.

    Of course you can. It's called context.

    The user didn't know how to read his hand so I was explaining with an example of his hand, how to read his hand.

    While you're technically correct given how I worded it, you could absolutely know what I mean.

    I'd even say adding that correction is fair as I did, but to claim you couldn't know I'd strongly disagree on.
