    You have five classifications of accounts. These are the five, in order, with their normal balance side. (The normal balance side is the increasing side.)

    Assets - debit
    Liabilities - credit
    Equity - credit
    Revenue - credit
    Expense - debit

    There are tons and tons of different accounts, so no one could simply start listing them all with their normal balances -- you need to be learning the meanings of these classifications and therefore what accounts belong where.
