I’ve looked lotsa places for an answer to this. Honest! I want to know how to select say 3 lines of text or 3 words of text, and then apply HTML tags to the beginning and end of the selected text, for example, p tags

You can select some text and then choose Edit > Tag > Wrap Selection with tag from the menu (or use the key binding you’ll see when you look there) to do this. The tag is <p> by default, but both the opening and closing tag names will be selected by default so you can immediately type something to replace them (e.g. div).
You could use snippets like:
<snippet>
<content><![CDATA[<p>${SELECTION}$0</p>]]></content>
<description>paragraaf</description>
<tabTrigger>p</tabTrigger>
<scope>text.html</scope>
</snippet>
I use a lot of them to wrap HTML-tags around imported plain text. Or to simply insert them. I all gave them a keybinding like <ctrl>+<shift>+p . Another example: I wrap quoted text with <ctrl>+<shift>+c to have a snippet with a styleasheet class (my language is Dutch):
<snippet>
<content><![CDATA[<p class="citaatkader">"${SELECTION}$0"</p>]]></content>
<description>citaat</description>
<tabTrigger>ct</tabTrigger>
<scope>text.html</scope>
</snippet>
Try it out!
