Add your video in. Many editors like to add in whole episodes into the timeline then cut their clips from that point. You may like to make your clips outside your editing program and then import them in. However you wish to do it, you can do that just fine. It should be noted that if you cut video that is already on the timeline at the same point as audio and the audio track has not been locked (by left clicking the blank box next to the speaker) then the razor will cut the audio as well. Think of locking a track as making it write protected or change/idiot proof.
As a beginning editor you might find yourself needing the use of transitions. Remember that transitions only work between the 1A and 1B tracks. They also, like anything else in premier, only work properly if you have footage overlapping each other. Once you have placed a transition you can change it's settings by right clicking on it and choosing transition settings from the menu.
As you can see (right), this is what a transition setting box looks like. I have two video sources mixed together and a transition in between them. See how the end of the bottom clip overlaps the top clip? Also note that the upper most clip will be the one shown overtop of any others below it unless it's opacity is altered. To the left is a pic of what the transition looks like once rendered.
