I suck at camera angles but I wanna learn so Does anyone know any tips and highlighting an angle to make it look more interesting?

If you have please tell me the link or just comment down :)

Thank you very much :3
 
I wish you would've been a bit more specific on what you want because that's very broad. Here's a couple tips that came first to my head that relate to angles.

Above shot (pointing down) to show weakness
lower shot to show power
tilted shot to show something in wrong (like a horror)
over the shoulder for comfortable conversation
far away shots make things seem distant and are good for setting the scene
 
If it's a short film or sketch, obey the 180 degree rule! Unless you know what you're doing, obeying the rule is a must. If not, it can really throw your viewers off! :)

what do you mean above shot and lower shot?
 
With the 180 degree rule you try and keep your camera on one line to get a good sense of perspective. Indy Mogul did a really good tutorial on using the 180 degree rule well. It is hard to explain in words, but in the video they did it really well.
