Most relatively new to photography having focusing issues seem to lack a good understanding of Depth of field.
Depth of field, or DoF, determines a range of distances from your camera that will be have acceptably sharp focus.
Several factors determine that range of distances from the camera. The range can be very shallow, less than an inch, so the background is very blurred, but the foreground is also blurred. Or the DoF can be quite deep, like miles instead of inches.
Here is a very good tutorial - Understanding Depth of Field in Photography and a couple of illustrations I have made:
