Like this, only it doesn't work:

\documentclass{standalone}

\usepackage{tikz}

\begin{document}

\begin{tikzpicture}

 \draw [->] (0, 0) ellipse [x radius = 2, y radius = 3];
 \draw [->] (0, 0) -- (1, 0) -- (0, 1) -- cycle;

\end{tikzpicture}

\end{document}

(Edited, twice, to include an MWE that actually compiles, as requested).

Please could you provide a full MWE? – Christopher Apr 14 '15 at 20:09

First you are missing the \begin{tikzpicture} and \end{tikzpicture}. Second, I think you have to use the decorations library. See for instance TikZ: How to draw an arrow in the middle of the line?. – Peter Grill Apr 14 '15 at 20:28
Thank you, the decorations library did the trick, as explained in the other question. – nemarona Apr 15 '15 at 16:27
