Driving lessons

Just have a few questions about driving lessons. Hope right place to put this

I want to start driving lessons but I hardly know anything about. and dont want to do one of my regretful spontaneous buys. I know i need a provisional and have one, like do i need anything else.
I don't know anything -would i look really stupid or do they tell me like the basics or should i look at YouTube or something?

Do they just state at you the whole time. Always thought it was intimidating and uncomfortable?

I just want to learn how to drive not actually drive rn. Is there a time limit or anything by the time you pass to the time you should be driving. Like incase you forgot or something lol i have no idea.

When does a theory test have to be done ? Before or after or how long ?

Many thanks

    She said this "You have to pass the theory test before you can do the driving test. Then you have to pass the driving test within 2 years or you'll have to do the driving test again. Once you've passed the driving test you don't have to drive straight away the licence lasts forever"

    I'm too young to drive at 14 but my sister has recently passed her test. She was a keen driver anyway, but I think they do go over the basics ith you and quite a lot of them will encourage you (if you get a horrible one change ASAP).

    No time limits - the licences, when you get them, last 10 years (I know this because my parents were just today talking about this).
