1)Oxidising Agents:- In the reaction if there is any substance which cause addition of oxygen or removal of hydrogen from the other substance then the substance must be oxidising agent.
EX..= C(s) + O2(g) ------ CO2(g)
Here, carbon is oxidised to carbon dioxide due to the oxygen, then here the oxygen must be oxidising agent.
2)Reducing agents:- In the reaction if there is any substance which cause addition of hydrogen or removal of oxygen from the other substance then the substance must be reducing agent.
EX.= MgO(s) + C(s) ------ Mg(s) + CO(g)
Here magnesium oxide is reduced to magnesium metal due to carbon, therefore here, the reducing agent must be carbon.
HOPE this will help you to understand in brief.

nyc question by the way ..^-^
Can you tell me that in the reaction of water and ammonia which one is reducing agent?
i think ammonia is the reducing agent (as it donate the electrons in the reaction with the water)
