I'm very new to photography, I have a EOS 800D. Sometimes I try to take a picture, noticing the focus box on the screen is red not green which won't let me take a picture. Why is that?

1\$\begingroup\$ Are you talking about the focusing screen seen through the viewfinder or the LCD screen on the back of the camera seen during Live View? \$\endgroup\$– Michael CCommented Aug 1, 2018 at 2:41

In general, the reason therefor is, that the object you are trying to focus on is not in the focusing range, in which the lens on your camera is able to focus.
