But how can I add an address to an account in Bitcoin-core?
Don't. The account system is deprecated, counter intuitive, and broken.

You are calling getbalance with a parameter. The parameter is for an account name, not an address. Accounts are different from addresses and wallets. They are a Bitcoin Core only internal thing. There is no way to get the balance of an address unless you add it to an account first.
I have created a regtest address and I want to check it's balance.
I have run the commands:
-regtest generate 101
-regtest getbalance
-regtest sendtoaddress n4MN27Lk7Yh3pwfjCiAbRXtRVjs4Uk67fG 10.00
-regtest generate 6
-regtest getbalance n4MN27Lk7Yh3pwfjCiAbRXtRVjs4Uk67fG
after the 5th step the balance is still 0.
Why this happened since I have already sent 10 BTC to my address? Do I have to sign any outputs in order to claim the bitcoins?
