Make sure to check things like fuel, compression, and spark. You need those 3 to start. Find out what you do and do not have and get back with us. If you don't know how to look for those use the search feature.

EDIT: Here i found some threads to help you.

Checking for spark.

To check for fuel the easiest way is to pull out the spark plugs after cranking the car...do they have gas on them or not? There are other ways, but that one is easiest for me.

Compression test:
