Most prepositions in Latin are also used as verb prefixes. This is a way of creating new verbs in Latin that are easy to translate if you know the original verb. For example, voco means "call" and devoco (voco prefixed with the preposition de-) means "call away."
Names in Latin usually take the same case endings as regular nouns. For example, the name Gaius is second declension so the accusative form would be Gaium. The nominative is considered the "normal" form so when translating into English, always translate the name back into its nominative form. This is because English doesn't have cases.
