Whenever you would use the word "the", the so-called "definite article" in English, you would use "la" in Spanish, assuming that it goes with a feminine noun.
Whenever you would use the "indefinite article "a" or "an" in English, you would use "una" (feminine) or "un" (masculine) in Spanish.
how do you know when to use La or UNA
can you give me a clear distinction between the two.

Sam, you asked the same question the other evening about "las" versus "unas" and I explained it at that time.
Indefinite article = A, AN = un, una, unos, unas
Definite article = THE = el, la, los, las
Look back to find that! Of course drwls is correct that it has to do with the number (singular/plural) and gender (masculine/feminine) of the noun
el or un libro
la or una casa
los or unos libros
las or unas casas
