If you have Electrum 2.7.12 open and synced go to wallet > addresses and a new tab labeled Addresses will appear. You will have a list of receiving addresses. When you select the Receive tab you will use the first address in the list and so on. As you use addresses new ones will cycle in.

Just check your wallet, the word "Recieving" holds your Bitcoin wallet or you can check your addresses by opening a new tab from "addresses".
I think you should read this beginner's guide before using it: http://bitzuma.com/posts/a-beginners-guide-to-the-electrum-bitcoin-wallet/
And I think you should read this if you want to know deeply about electrum: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=539818.0

just go to the receive tab and you'll get an address there.

Also, you will notice that once you start using Electrum for transactions you will never use an address more than once.  You can of course (if you want to) since they never expire or anything.  You will get better privacy by never using the same address twice on the blockchain.  Don't worry Electrum does all this automatically for you.
