begin / start to do sth
begin / start doing sth.
1) 談及一項(xiàng)長(zhǎng)期活動(dòng)或開(kāi)始一種習(xí)慣時(shí),使用doing.
How old were you when you first started playing the piano?
你幾歲時(shí)開(kāi)始彈鋼琴?
2) begin,start用進(jìn)行時(shí)時(shí),后面動(dòng)詞用不定式to do
I was beginning to get angry.
我開(kāi)始生起氣來(lái).
3) 在attempt,intend,begin,start 后接know,understand,realize這類(lèi)動(dòng)詞時(shí),常用不定式to do.

我開(kāi)始明白真相.
4) 物作主語(yǔ)時(shí)

另外 我從網(wǎng)上查了些資料 可供參考start與begin的區(qū)別在于：start常用于非正式文體,其動(dòng)作性較強(qiáng),以行動(dòng)來(lái)開(kāi)始某一具體動(dòng)作時(shí)多用start.例如：He started to run．他開(kāi)始跑.begin動(dòng)作性較弱,常用于描寫(xiě)一種狀態(tài)的開(kāi)始,特別是較緩慢的開(kāi)始.例如：He began to understand．他開(kāi)始明白了.start除了開(kāi)始做之外,還可表示啟動(dòng),發(fā)動(dòng),如start a car,begin則不行
