Farming

Farming and laning is the easiest thing on Riven. You just use your first two Qs on minions use your third to jump at your opponent wait for them to hit the ground
then W auto and E away. Then continue to CS and your good.

Actually getting a kill

you can get a kill by just using your abilitys but if you want to grantee one you should trade until they are at around half health, activate ult and All In.

Combos And Animation Canceling

Combos And Animation Canceling are the bread and butter of Riven.You can succeed in playing riven without it in causal play but if you want to play ranked or step up your game in casual you need to A. learn your max damage combos and B. learn how to get your abilitys out faster. This is a very long subject and is hard to explain but i think this sub-Reddit does it perfectly: https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/3xgbrv/riven_combos_and_animation_canceling_guide/

Summary

Riven is all around a very good champion and is very good to learn she can trade effectively she can farm really well she can go all in she has a good team-fight stage and she can even play jungle so go out there and be the worst person you can be, play riven.
