'Mismo' combines with subject pronouns (yo, tú/vos, él/ella/usted, nosotros/nosotras, vosotros/vosotras, ellos/ellas/ustedes) in situations where, in English, we would say "I myself," "you yourself," "they themselves," etc. (yo mismo = I myself, usted mismo = you yourself, ellos mismos = they themselves, etc.)

'Incluso' is often used when what is included is somehow unexpected or surprising.

'Antes' means before in time; 'ante' means before in space (i.e. before the judge, before the audience) or before (facing) a challenge, difficulty, situation, etc.

'Entonces' means 'then' both in the sense of 'if…then' ('si…entonces') and in the sense of an earlier or later time than now.
