Get copies of the ARRL Antenna Book and the RSGB Antenna Book. If you're not familiar with RF, then get books that cover the subject and at least become conversant with the terminology.

There's no quick way to learning these things. Many of those who've answered the OPs question have 20 years or more experience in radio/antenna work (I've been licensed 50 years come November). And I'm still learning.

Antenna experimentation is still a wide-open field. Play around with different antennas. Find out what works, what doesn't, and (most important): WHY?

Take voluminous notes.
