You can use Unite in the Pathfinder panel

enter image description here

or

you could use the shape Builder tool enter image description here

They work differently unite would be easier for this task. select the objects and click the unite button in the pathfinder panel. (window > pathfinder)

to use shapebuilder first select the objects then drag the tool over the parts you want to combined (conversely alt/opt drag to eliminate areas from shape)
