Bad battery or bad starter, but most likely the starter. Turn your headlights on and if they don't come on or are dim, then it's the battery. You can take them both to an auto parts store and have them checked. Most do it for free.

What happens when you turn the key?
Do you hear a rapid click, or one click?

Many threads on here related to this with helpful troubleshooting information.

especially in the last couple of weeks. I know because even I responded in some of those.

Lol everybody's starter is going out lately.

Do your lights and radio work? When you turn the key does it click or nothing? My guess is that your starter is going out.

Just went through same thing, bad starter, after racking my brains i tapped on the starter n solinoid with a wrench and then tried and she started to click so i tapped some more with a wooden handle and it worked, have been driving the car over a week like this and most times as long as it clicks when i try i can keep turning the key back n forth till it starts. If its not clicking(very faintly) i tapp on starter and try again. Prob not the best idea but i soaked my starter and solinoid with WD40 and it seems to be helping.Its starting within the first 1-3 tries.
Hope this helps good luck.
