A "precaution" is something you do so that something that might happen, does not happen. For example, putting candles out before leaving your house is a 'precaution' against starting a fire. A "prevention" is more a specific action against something that will cause problems. If you see that a candle is setting your curtains on fire, you grab a fire extinguisher and put out the fire. That way you 'prevent' your house from burning down. The putting out of the fire is a prevention, not a precaution, because the chain of events leading to your house burning down is already in motion and putting out the fire is the act that intends to interrupt the chain of events.

What verb?

It is a spelled as: 'ie. For example: Hoe rijdt 'ie? A high comma is used, just like you do with some English words. Like "You're". It simply means 'Hij" (He). It is informal, but can be used widely in conversations. Other versions: Het (It) = 'T Haar (Her) = D'r Zijn (His) = Z'n Zij (She) = Ze

"Es musst hier wirklich schön sein." = "It must be really beautiful here." "Why is the "to be" placed in front of the subject in the first sentence? And what inverts the verb beside adverb of time?" Simple syntaxis rules. If you put the adverb of time, the verb comes in front of the subject. If you put the adverb of time after it, the verb comes right after it. This also happens with questions: "Du bist zu Hause" --> "Bist du zu Hause?"

I would first focus on syntax and grammar if I were you. I don't really think vocabulary is your problem. Ask a teacher or someone here on italki to explain English grammar and syntax for you. It will make your English much more understandable simply by being able to place the words in the right spot.

I think that's a bit too large for this question system. 

 

German grammar is not something you can write down easily. The most basic verbs for example are irregular, and there are much more endings for verbs with each pronoun than in English. 

 

If you want basic grammar look up the following on google:

German verb 'Haben' (To have) conjugation.

German verb 'Sein' (To be) conjugation.

German present tense.

German past tense.

German past participle.

 

That is the most important, fundamental grammar. You would still need to know a lot more irregular verbs though.
