Tally marks are a type of counting using vertical lines. One line means one, two means two, three means three, four means four, and then for the fifth line, it would go diagonal across the previous four lines, which would be five.

The tally marks I'm familiar with cannot have negative numbers because they are used to count real things and there cannot be a negative apple

A "frequency table" just refers to a kind of table you can make to record the frequency of particular results or events, as part of an experiment or to analyse data. It is convenient to list the possible events or results along the left side of the table, and then make tally marks across from them, in order to count the number of times each one appears; thus, the tally marks represent each event or result's frequency, or the number of times it shows up.
Tally marks, as it was taught to me in first grade or so, are little lines used to keep a count of things. They're written in groups of five, with the fifth crossing over the first four like this:
tally are these kind of stripes that represent numbers. For example one stripe is equal to 1 two tally stripes is equal to two etc when you come to five you have to put a diagonal line across the stripes. In frequency tables you just use numbers 1,2,3 etc
