When you open a Terminal (the CLI application), you get a *prompt*. It is called a prompt because it is prompting you to say something in a language that the Terminal understands. Prompts differ in what information is displayed, but they all end with the `$` character. You then give *commands* to the Terminal. The Terminal responds, then redisplays the prompt to take more commands.
The best way to learn the basics of the command line is to interact with it.

Some commands require elevated privileges, equivalent to "Open as Administrator" in Windows. For example, installing software usually requires this. Prefixing a command with `sudo` will execute it as the administrative user, named root (note: the root user is not the same as the root directory, and the two should not be confused). A root prompt will display `#` instead of `$`. Be especially careful with any commands you run while using these elevated privileges, as you'll have the power to erase your entire hard drive or change important files. It is helpful to know that text is pasted in the Terminal with Ctrl+Shift+V (i.e. the Shift key must also be pressed).
