Why sometimes we use sobre sometimes we use en?What is the difference between la and el?I am really confused@@

When meaning 'on', you can use 'en' or 'sobre' - they mean the same. But 'en' can also mean 'in'
In Spanish, nouns have gender - they are either masculine or feminine. Masculine nouns need
el, feminine nouns need
la
El hombre, los hombres
La mujer, las mujeres
You can guess those two, but you have to learn the gender with each noun. Normally there is no
obvious reason why a noun has a particular gender: la salchicha,
the sausage.
