Some people play F with a full barre chord which can be challenging for people. Another way is to have your ring finger on the 3rd fret of the D string and 2nd Fret at G with your middle and index the first on the B and you actually bar the first on the high E. How I teach beginners the way to learn it first is, don’t worry about the bar with my finger, I just let that High E mute.
