What do you call where the plane drives to?

The area where a plane drives to is called the "taxiway." Taxiways are paved paths on an airport that connect runways with terminals, hangars, and other facilities. Pilots use taxiways to maneuver the aircraft safely while on the ground before takeoff and after landing.

How can you distinguish various aircraft engines in simple words?

There are three main types of propulsion for aircraft. The first is the propeller, which functions like a fan and also works on similar principles to wings. The propeller forces air toward the tail of the aircraft, which pushes the propeller and the aircraft forward (equal and opposite reaction). This is typically used on smaller aircraft now. Secondly there are jet turbines. These work basically by compressing air into a chamber where energy is added by burning fuel. This air is then released out the back of the turbine, pushing the aircraft forward (Assuming the exhaust travels backward). This type has high power output and is typically used on larger aircraft. Finally there is the turboprop, which is a combination of the two others. In this one, air is compressed as in the jet turbine but instead of using the exhaust to solely power the aircraft, the exhaust is passed through a fan that harvests energy and drives a propeller in front of the turbine. This type is has a good power-to-weight ratio and is used on smaller to medium aircraft
