Like any traditional turn based RPG Chrono Trigger only differs with the option of the battle mode (active vs wait).  Again, it's best to try both styles to find what you like best.  Player controlled characters and CPU controlled enemies will take turns performing actions, as specified by either player.  A battle ends either 1) when one side is killed, 2) when one side runs or 3) a special condition is met (an event or cutscene takes place).

Battles are initialized by events within places, since they are not encountered on the world map.  Such events include normally running into monsters, flicking switches or other player initialized events.

If your entire party falls in battle, you'll have to load your game!  Make sure you save often, and don't worry if only one or two of your members die, after battle they will be revived with 1 HP so you can heal them up as normal.  Remember that you can use revives if need be to keep the fight going, and later on you'll also gain revival abilities for one of the characters.
