How do calendars work (new to Android) (Note 4)?

Lost with how calendars work (new to Android) (Note 4)

Hi,
I am a recent convert from iPhone but completely lost with calendars
I have a Note 4, looked at the stock calendar app from Samsung (S.Calendar is it?), decided I could do better.
Installed the new Google Calendar app to play with, which looks great.
BUT
When I go into the menu tab of the Google Calendar app I see the following:
- A section "Events" showing my correct Gmail email address which, judging by the first diary entry I added, appears to be the default.
- Another section "Samsung Calendar" which again shows my correct Gmail address. Could it be this happened when I initially signed in / set up my device or maybe the first time I played with the Samsung stock calendar app and tried to sync it with my Google calendar?
- "My Calendar", absolutely NO idea what that is.

** My issue was that the Android Google Calendar didn't sync with Google Calendar. **

When I go into settings the above three appear again. Are these separate calendar accounts?

Somewhere in there, previously, ONE of them had a "sync on/off" option but now I can't even find that!!

Help!!

All I want to do is use the Google Calendar app to sync automatically with Google Calendar, doesn't sound like it should be hard...

Thanks.

Alastair

I'm trying to figure out why it doesn't default to my Google account... When adding something you have to change it from my calendar to the one you want to sync it with
