where are instructions for basic iMovie editing?

I'm new to iMovie. Can't find basic instructions on how to edit a video once it's uploaded. For example, how to delete unwanted clips. Where are the tutorials for things this basic. Apple's iMovie tutorials skip right over this stuff.

First drag clips or portions of clips from Event to your Project. To delete unwanted frames, there are two ways.

1) Select the frames you want to delete so there is a yellow border around them. Then right-click/Delete Selection.

2) Select the frames in the clip that you want to keep. Then right-click/Trim To Selection.
