How do I insert a jpeg image into an Adobe Illustrator document?

[Dave22140586zni6]

Just trying to learn how to do some basic things in ai.  Unfortunately the "tutorials" are more advertisements to spend more money than they are actual help.  Should be fairly simple to insert an image, but I don't see how to do it.  Any help would be appreciated.

File > Place... would be best.

You will have the option to Link or Embed the image.

I highly recommend the Illustrator User Guide.
