Dear torsten,
I am in trouble, I don´t find the right way to use start and begin. I like you clarify me the difference between both and how to use each one using an example, maybe.
Regards, ann.

It is not worth worrying about-- there is no difference beyond what has already been suggested in the links above, which I hope you have read carefully.

Hi Sarsora,

Please repeat the test until you get all the questions right. You need to invest a little time and effort into improving your English while you are using our materials for free.

Many thanks,
