It's difficult to provide a general answer, because the most of those words have a variety of meanings in different contexts, but I hope these examples are at least a bit helpful:
Ich decke das Feuerholz ab, damit es nicht nass wird (I'm covering the fire wood so it doesn't get wet). Der Schnee bedeckt die Wiese (The snow coveres the field). Die Wolken verdecken die Sonne (The clouds are covering the sun). Wir decken das Dach mit Dachziegeln (We cover the roof with roof tiles).
