Is it just masculine and feminine? I need to know how to put them in a sentence like this- Mi abuelo se levantó a las site.

Yes. Just and simply different gender.
Mi abuelo se levantó a las siete - Mi grandfather got up at seven, needs a las because horas (hours, used implicitly) is feminine.
"a" is one of the twenty-two (I think) prepositions we have in Spanish. Los and las are definite articles for plural, respectively, masculine and feminine gender.
[Feel free to correct my English. Thank you]
I hope this helps.

There are four definite articles in Spanish. They are all equivalent to "the" in English.
el is for masculine singular; los is for masculine plural
la is for feminine singular; las is for feminine plural
Keep on learning!
