The difference is that for F major, F is the first note, while for D minor, D is the first note. The relative minor of F major is D minor. Using the formula, W-W-H-W-W-W-H, when we start on F, we move one whole step to G, one whole step to A, a half step to Bb, a whole step to C, a whole step to D, a whole step to E and a half step to F. A half step means that you should play the next key. A whole step means that you should skip a key. For instance, C to D is a whole step, and F to G is a whole step as well. Two half steps make up a whole step (or whole tone). For instance C to C sharp is a half step. It’s the shortest distance in Western music.
