What losing and learning said is correct, also I would recommend watching all the free videos (as u are not a premium member) in the study plan, to get u started.

Everyone makes great points here but look at Magnus's game in Tata steel tournament where he is a entire piece down and still wins with only a 150 point difference he should have lost but all the more reason to play on. I'm not saying play on without a queen but if it's not serous then play on and cross your fingers the worst that an happen is you lose.

Okay - now I see. I was about to say you needed glasses. 
He could've won though had he played h5. Lucky for me he played Qg4 which is a howler.

Never resign ... ever! 
If you are at 800, you should not give up when a queen down. You should play all the way to checkmate. I would only give up when a queen down against a really good player, like 2000.
