What might be wrong if you turn the key and the car will not start?

Start with the gas tank. No fuel, no start. Then check the battery. If the battery is low or dead, it will not start. If you jump it and it starts, but will not continue running, it is the alternator. If you have gas, a good battery, a working alternator, but it still will not start, and perhaps the tharter makes a weird noise or no noise at all, it's the starter.
From there, it depends on the make and model of the vehicle. Could be a number of manufacturer specific problems.
Ussually when its the starter a good wack to the starter will make it turn on from pesonal experience of course :)
