Exactly what he said. Also, once the grass takes you may want to throw down some more seed if it didn't entirely fill the patch.
Another alternative is throwing in some sod. If it's just a couple of spots you can go buy a roll of sod and cut it up to fill the spots. You will have to dig down a little into the ground to make the sod mat level with the existing ground though. Doing a whole lawn with sod is expensive as hell but to do a few spots it's relatively inexpensive and you get an instant result. You will also have to water it like gonadman outlined about until it takes root.
