Hi and welcome to the forum.
We have a great lesson on definite articles in our Reference section. Generally speaking, we put "la" before feminine words, such as "casa", and "el" before masculine words, such as "libro."
Take a look at the lesson...it's very helpful.

"el" is for masculine nouns
el carro = car
el vestido = dress
"la" is for feminine nouns
la lámpara = lamp
la fiesta = party

They are articles. La is feminine & el is masculine.
La is also a personal pronoun for formal you when addressing a woman. IE: "Mucho gusto en conocerla"............ "Nice to meet you."
