What is the difference between zuvor and bevor and vor and vorher ?Feel free to just provide example sentences.
- German
I love my language :) Sorry, we have so many prefixes because we specificate many things! A big advantage in technical descriptions! Everytime I translate something into English, I'm really surprised that it doesn't exist any English word with this strong meaning as we have in German! Maybe it's more useful with examples. Wait a few seconds!

It's hard to explain. But I hope you understand it. Vorher can only used in a following sentence after something else was described which happened after that following sentence, but was first expressed.

Vorher means exactly the same as davor.

As well means bevor and zuvor exactly the same, but not the same as davor. Zuvor is mostly used in the middle of a sentence. Before at the beginning. You write both actions in one sentence. It means an action you describe right now and one how happened before.

Oh and if you use vor for time expressions, it's only possible with timespans.
