HTML-files are always begin from <html> tag and always end with </html> tag.
Next tags divide HTML-page on two parts: "head" and "body". The "head" part begins from <head> tag and end with </head> tag. This part of document contains information which not shows on the screen (except <title> tag). For more information of this tag please read this tutorial.
The "body" part begins from <body> tag and end with </body> tag. This part of document contains all content of page - text, images, videos etc. For more information of this tag please read this tutorial.

The basics and minimum coding needed
<html></html> Your document is created
<head></head> Deals with information not seen on the browser. Can be used for JavaScript or CSS for example.
<body></body> This is where all the text to appear on the browser goes.

Please note that all the attributes are now deprecated and should be set within styles.

Examples

<html>
   <head>
   </head>
   <body>
   </body>
</html>
It is the base of ANY html-page.

In the body tag, you can have all the attributes combined. The code would look like something like this:

<body bgcolor="#000000" text="#ffffff" link="#0033FF" >
     Content of the web page...
</body>.
The next example can be your first web page:).
<html>
   <head>
      <title>Ìó First Web Page
      </title>
   </head>
   <body bgcolor="silver" text="#000000" link="#0000ff" alink="#ff0000" vlink="#ffff00">
    This is my first web page!
   </body>
</html>

These are the basic tags and very good for reference. If need be, you could always type in the color that you wish to use if you don't know the hex value. That is a natural item considering that it may not be as easy to remember as you would think.
