Use it for what? What lenses do you have?

Read the first section of the getting started manual and go out and take some pictures. Experiment, use the entire range of the zoom. Take pictures of things far away and up close.

Look carefully at the images, what would make them better? How can I change the camera settings to do that?

If you have any specific questions, feel free to come back here and ask.

To add to my colleague John's suggestion, also check this video:

You should also consider downloading the manual as a PDF for reference purposes.  You can do a text search on this and it should be your first port of call if you need to clarify a feature or trouble-shoot an issue.

You can get going by putting the camera in one of the auto modes, but you will get the most out of your camera when you learn the basics of light metering and exposure, along with the controls that get the correct exposure: Shutter speed, ISO and Aperture.  There are many combinations of those three that will achieve an acceptable exposure but the results to the photograph from a compositional point of view will vary dramatically.
So consider the following sources for learning about photography in general:
