The two wires coming from the ceiling electrical box are, one brown and one

the green ground wire what would I do? Also if I was to put in a
light/ceiling fan what wires would go to the brown and red wires from the
ceiling.

Patt, it makes no difference how you connect them. The light or fan
will work just fine either way you hook it up.

I'd recommend you hook the Red to your Black wire and the Brown to
your White wire, but you won't notice the difference..

But if you want to investigate further, you can trace the red and
brown wire back to where they tie into a black and white wire.

Black is the hot wire and White is the neutral wire. The bare copper
or the green wire is the ground - which is not often used on lights.
