Yikes! What a question! Campaign Creations at http://www.campaigncreations.com/ageofkings / is supposed to have a good beginner's guide to the trigger system, so you might start by looking that up.
I'd suggest starting simple and using the trial-and-error method to learn how to use triggers. Start by making an extremely simple scenario and putting in an extremely simple trigger. For example, when you edit the scenario, click the Triggers tab, select New Trigger, underneath click on New Condition and in the drop-down menu set it to Timer and give it a value of 10, click New Effect and select Display Instructions and in the box to the right type "Hi CPimp!" Then test your scenario. Ten seconds into the game you should see "Hi CPimp!" on your screen.
Sounds like alot of work (and it is!), but once you get familiar with the system, you'll begin understand how to use it to create the effects you want when you want them. Also, if you hold the cursor over an icon or button in the scenario editor, it will give you a brief description of what it does, which should help you along.
