Generally, the 'precession of the stars' is caused by the rotational activities of the (known) universe. The (generally accepted) constellations recur a bit earlier each year, which necessitates an adjustment of our (generally accepted) calendar in the form of a 'leap year' every four years.
Most constellations are seasonal, meaning they appear in the sky during reasonable evening hours only at certain times of the year. For example, Orion is a popular winter constellation. Only circumpolar constellations are not seasonal.
Constellations are used for navigating. Since different constellations appear in different parts of the world at different times of the year, if you know the approximate time of the year you can figure out where you are by the constellations.
Yes we do, we all see the same star every night. But if you are in a certain spot you can see the constellations. Not all can see the constellations. If you can you are very lucky.
because the circumpolar constellations are visible all year long and the others are not.
They're generally named for the constellation they appear to originate from. For example, the Leonids appear to radiate from a location in the constellation Leo, and the Perseids from a location in the constellation Perseus.

The constellations near the plane of the ecliptic (the zodiacal constellations) are only visible at certain times of the year. The constellations towards the poles (N and S) are visible at all times of the year from their respective hemispheres. In the South, the Southern Cross would be one example and in the North the Great Bear (or plough) would be another.

Because Earth moves, and it appears that the constellation moves. It just seems that we see it at a certain time of year.
During the year, due to the earth's orbit, different constellations appear during different seasons. You can use the constellations to determine the time of year.
because the circumpolar constellations are visible all year long and the others are not.
All the constellations were fixed to a crystal sphere that rotates at a slightly different rate from the Sun's rotation rate. So while the Sun goes round 365 times in a year, the sphere of the constellations go round 366 times.
The Earth's rotation causes the constellations in the night sky to appear to move across the horizon. This rotation causes the constellations to rise and set at different times throughout the year, leading to different constellations being visible during different seasons. Additionally, the Earth's atmosphere can cause the stars to twinkle and appear less bright or crisp, depending on factors such as air pollution or atmospheric conditions.

Because of certain areas climate and it determines if how hot it gets. So basically it only come in the summer.
