You just need to have three cards with the same value, whether they are threes, tens, or aces.

Two pairs is just that — you may have two fives and two jacks between your hand and the community cards. The hand is an incredibly common one. If another player also has two pairs, the player with the highest or biggest pair wins.

One pair is, naturally, extremely common as well, and unless it involves a pair of aces, it is really not worth playing.

High cards mark the lowest hand in Texas Hold ‘Em. It occurs when there are no poker combinations in your hand except for the highest card you have. Again, it is typically not worth it to play this hand.
