Read up on the reparent bone tool in the help manual. This should answer your question. If not, tell us you still don't understand and we'll try to explain it more clearly.

You just need to move the bones at the right positions, then press P on your keyboard, that gets you in bone parenting mode.

So, say you want to connect, or parent, the toe bone to the foot bone, press and hold ALT, select the toe bone, then release the ALT key and select the foot bone.

An arrow should point from the toe bone to the foot bone, indicating that the toe bone is connected/parented to the foot bone.

The ALT key allows you to select bones while in parenting bone mode without having to switch to bone select tool and back to parenting bone tool.
