Foreign Key - the primary key from another table, used inside a child table to link records together. So if we have Invoices and Invoice Line Items, the line items table contains a field for the invoice id: that is the foreign key in the line items table.
Primary Key - this is the unique ID or serial number for your record. A contacts's ID in a contact's database. This is probably field you're already using to related tables to each other.
TO - short for "table occurrence" - a representation of a table on the "Relationships" tab of "Manage / Database"
