Have you tried to jump start the car?
Have you checked the alternator belt under the hood to see if it is broken?
Could be a bad battery
Could be a bad alternator
Could be a broken timing belt
Could be any number of things as your description is a bit vague

Perhaps some additional information for starters
How much mileage on the car?
How old the battery is?
Any electrical modifications (IE: Homemade wiring)?
Maintenance done or not done to the best of your knowledge?
Drivetrain information?
