hi
select this :tool_ellipse: button on the left panel ('e' or 'F5' keyboard shortcut) and use your left mouse button to give a starting and an ending point, this will draw an ellipse not a perfect circle....so if you want a perfect circle after selecting the :tool_ellipse: ellipse tool keep pressed the CTRL key before drag with left mouse button.

You can also read this manual which explain how to draw circle (and many other things) better than me:
