Él refers to when you´re talking about a person.

Él es perezoso.

El without the tilde refers to nouns of a male gender like:

el león, el tigre, o el limón

It´s in lesson 1.1

I suggest you look there for further info.

él is a personal pronoun which can be used as a subject of a sentence or clause or as an object of the preposition meaning he or him.

el is a definite article used before a masculine, singular noun that means "the"

el is also part of a relative pronoun meaning "which": el que
