Answer 1

Sounds like a dead battery or loose wire; run it to a Pep Boys or simular place and have the battery and charging system checked

Answer 2

Time for a battery check.
If when you turn the key it just goes click click click
The battery is low
But if when you turn the key it clicks 1 time and then time for a new starter.
I would check the battery first

Answer 3

Either dead battery,dirty battery cables, or bad alternator are the most likely, and in that order.
Charge the battery, then have it tested for free at auto zone. clean the battery terminals with a wire brush and inside the cable ends as well, then try to start. Also, whether this works or not, have your alternator tested to see if it is recharging the battery
