I was given this plant to put in my yard but I don't know what it is. The

Dad could say was that it's an evergreen. I want to make sure I plant it
correctly and in the right kind of sunlight.

It's a Norfolk Island Pine (Araucaria heterophylla). It would be useful
to know where you live, it won't survive outside in a cold climate.
