Nobody is saying that it should be 'starts' in the example, Maindola.
The query was linked to the test question, but not specifically about it.

Yes, when will we use begin and when will we use start? Sometimes I'm confuse about it.

Hi Evren,
This expression is start off at and means to complain to someone usually about what they have done or not done often in a loud voice.

Is it a common British expression? In this area we would use 'start on' rather than 'start off'.
"Don't start on at me again." "Don't start going on at me again." |
hello,
does it mean that "start off at" and "start on at" mean the same and i can use both of them like that:
"don't start off at me/don't start on at me, you can't do your job for the second day and i can not run everything in our department!" |

Oxford dictionary:
start on sb=to attack sb physically or with words (NO PASSIVE!)
start on at sb about sth = begin to complain about sth; criticise sb
-He started on at me about not doing my work. (?)
-Not start on about him not having a job.
