It could be a lot of things. Does it turn over? If not it could be a low battery, contacts that are corroded or not tight enough, or you're not in park or neutral. If it does, it could be flooded (especially if it's carbureted) making it smell a lot like gas, or there could be humidity in the distributor. There are lots of other reasons, but in my experience these are the most common.

To start a car you need to turn the engine over (usually with a starter motor), fuel and spark plugs with the correct gap.
It means either the battery is bad, battery cable connections are corroded or loose, alternator is defective and did not keep the battery charged, or the starter is defective. I am assuming you mean the engine will not turn over. If it will turn over but will not start that can be many, many, things.

DON'T YOU MEAN YOUR CAR? Is there spark at the plugs does the starter work? is there fuel pressure to the fuel injectors?

It could be a blown fuse or relay. Also it could be a fuel, Air, Spark, or Timing

The alternator may have gone out.
