Well, there is no three beat note but it is possible to make one. One way is to take a half note, if the time signature is 4/4, and add a dot to the right of it. The dot will add half of the value of the note, which would be three beats because half of a half note is a quarter note. Another way to do this is to draw two quarter notes with a dot side by side on the same line or space. Then draw a curved line connecting them together, which is called a tie.
If you take a minim (a two beat note shown with an open circle with a stem) and then put a dot on the right, that will be three beats and it would be called a dotted minim.
triplets are usually three notes to a beat.
When three notes grouped together are played in the time of two notes of the same value, they are called a triplet. Triplets create a rhythmic division that allows for the equal subdivision of a beat into three parts, which adds a distinctive feel to the music. This term is commonly used in various musical genres to enrich the rhythmic texture.
The term for the rhythmic pairing of two-notes against three-notes is called "polyrhythm."
Three crotchets with a bracket grouped over them with a small three in the middle of the bracket is called a triplet. A triplet is when you play three notes in the time that you would play two notes, meaning in this case you would play three crotchets in the time of two crotchet beats (or one minim beat).
Tri because if you have three like a triangle it has 3 sides so if you have 3 numbers its tri

Presuming you're in crotchet time e.g. 4 time 4 an eight beat note is called a breve a four beat note is called a semibreve a two beat note is called a minim a one beat note is called a crotchet a half beat note is called a quaver a quarter beat is called a semiquaver an eighth(1/8) beat is called a demisemiquaver
The first three notes on the soprano recorder are called C, D and E.
While you only play quarter notes for one beat, a quarter note is 1/4th of a full note, which is 4 beats.
8 notes are not equal to one beat in fact you can not even make one beat with eighth notes it actually takes four sixteenth notes to make one beat.
Notes and rests always carry the same value no matter what the time signature. A quarter note or rest is always held for one beat, but depending on how you're counting the time, it may be more than one count (ex. if your beat is in eighth notes, a quarter note is gonna be two counts- "one and, two and, three and..." but if your beat is in quarter notes, it's just gonna be one count- "one, two, three...")
quarter notes in ddr are the notes that go to the beat
