Conventions for Geometry Proofs

I really need help with this. In my maths exams I can easily find the answers for the questions. But I'm losing valueble marks becausing I'm not writing the proofs correctly. I don't know how! And when it is explained in class I just don't get it, I don't know which proves to use where. I keep getting co-interior and alternate and stuff all mixed up. Can anyone help me with some good methods for proof in gemoetry. I just can't seem to express my logic mathematically.
