Well I have successfully installed Gnome through pacman, using pacman -S gnome. Now I need to know how to enable it. Thanks in advance.

Read the Forum Etiquette entry on How to Post and visit the link to How to Ask Questions the Smart Way.

Also, don't expect people to hold your hand with Arch: if you have difficulty understanding the excellent documentation on the wiki, then you are going to struggle.

That is an assertion I never take for granted.

What is unclear, and we can try to help.

Btw since you use Gnome, you may want to install gdm as your login manager:
