Can you substitute or use another chord instead f major that would still sound okay?

It depends on what key you are in. If the key is C major, you can substitute it with a D minor chord. If the key you are in is B flat major or B flat minor, then you can substitute it with an A diminished chord (it might need to be inverted). There don't seem to be any other cases where you can substitute an F major chord with another chord.

How do you transpose from major to minor keys in music?

You cannot transpose from a major key to a minor key. You can change the key of a piece, but transposition must be either major or minor.

Actually you can transpose from major to minor but it won't always sound right. First write down the chord functions for each chord in the major key (eg. I ii iii IV V VI viio). Then write down the interval of each melody note (eg. C over a G chord is a perfect fifth). Then for the minor key write out the chords using the chord functions as your guide. So if C was in major key, acting as I chord, in the key of Am you would have an Am chord. In minor keys we use a mixture of natural minor, harmonic and melodic minor which affects which chords you will use in your minor key. For example, in the key of Am the V chord might be E major (not E minor) using the G# from the melodic minor scale (or harmonic minor scale). It has a stronger resolution.

For the melody use minor intervals instead of major intervals - so use minor 3rd instead of major 3rd, minor 6ths and 7ths. So if you had an E melody over C chord in major key you would have C melody note over Am chord.

This doesn't always work but can get you started.

What is an augmented interval?

Generally, augmentation means to enlarge. In music theory, augmentation can be applied both to note values (time/duration) and to intervals (pitch relationship between to pitches). When you augment a note value you increase the duration of the note (the time you hold the note) over its previous value. Augmenting an interval is the process of increasing an interval by exactly one chromatic semitone (raise the interval a 1/2 step). In chord theory, an Augmented chord always means you are raising the 5th by a 1/2 step.

Technically, you can augment any interval (unisons, seconds, thirds, etc.), but in practical terms, augmented intervals are reserved for the perfect intervals of 4ths and 5ths.
