I find it very confusing to figure out if I should say el(la), un or uno(una). Any hints would be great.

If you know the difference between the definite article in English (the) and indefinite articles (a, an), then you can relate more easily to their Spanish equivalents, albeit gender and number, which are used in Spanish and not in English.
In Spanish:
Indefinite articles: un, una, unos, unas.
Definite articles: la, el, lo (neutral), las, los.
