You can clean the posts on your battery with sandpaper, or scraping the with a wire brush, or a knife. You should also clean the inside of the connectors. If they have gotten to that point and the battery is not sealed, you should check the level of the fluid. if it is low, fill it with distilled water.

Impossible to tell for sure, but most likely the contact with the terminals/posts on the battery, and the cables to the vehicle, are not substantial (good) enough to crank the starter. Although lights work, there needs to be little to no resistance to the power available in the battery to the starter. Causes are likely - dirty battery terminals/posts - dirty corroded cables - cables too loosely connected to battery - battery is too old/weak. try cleaning the posts with emery cloth or fine sand paper till shiny - same for inside the cables - a file can sometimes work to clean here - ensure that cables are properly seated down the posts far enough to ensure maximum contact. tighten firmly so cables cannot be wiggled off - but careful not to overdo it - cable heads can split/break - contact is now comprimised. bottom line - need clean and firm contact cables/posts.
What is posts and where do you get them?
It depends on what you are referring to. Posts can be comments or additions to Web sites on the computer, a battery has posts that the cables connect to. Fence posts. You can post a letter. Since this is under car parts and repairs, I will assume battery posts. A battery with top posts has them as a part of the battery and they cannot be replaced. A side post battery uses a bolt to connect the battery cable to the battery with a flat connector. You can get adapters that screw into the bolt hole in the battery and let you use a side post battery in a car that uses a top post. You can get them at an auto parts store or any place that sells car batteries.
What do you call the part of the battery that is negative and positive?
Battery terminals or battery posts.
