I have been tasked with a scenario and part of this is to develop a database.
One of the task is to add functionality to the database such as F1, F2, F3, F4. Never done this before. How could this be done?
I need to add a group of people under one record. How is this possible with a function key?

I've never heard of the "F3 database functionality". What is it? I know that Oracle Forms (just for example, as we're dealing with Oracle) offer key mapping so that you could map function keys to different tasks, so F3 might - again for example - perform execute query operation. (Oh, that) Jeff Smith (!) talks about keyboard shortcuts in SQL Developer so - maybe that's what you are looking for ... have a look here.
"A group of people under one record" looks like a nested table. I prefer oldfashioned master-detail relationship; first of all, they are easier to maintain. Furthermore, some front-end development tools might have difficulties in displaying nested tables, while most of them have Wizards which know how to display master-detail data; I'm not saying that you can NOT do it, but you'll have to write some code; end user won't notice the difference anyway, but you'll make things (too) complex when compared to benefit nested tables provide (if any).
However, if the whole story is about educational purposes, go ahead (as you *must* do it that way anyway).
