How to put a block down?

I don't know how to put a block down from inventory. I have inventory but in the main playing screen, I don't know how to take an inventory item and put it down to start building a house. I have already tried to do this, but all that happens is it smashes into the ground.

How do I use a block to start a house?

Do right click to place a block.

If the right button of your mouse smashes, go to Options > Controls

and the Use Item/Place Block entry should be Button 2

You can right click to place, and use the scroll wheel to select items.
