Hi Little Joe,
The only phrasal verb is start up meaning begin again.

Dear Alan, I search this phrasal verb "start up" in dictionary, but none of the expressions mention "again". And I also checked it on Internet: http://www.usingenglish.com/reference/phrasal-verbs/start+up.html
So I'm confused about which one is correct. Could you tell me? Thank you in advance. |

Hi,
I am not sure of the context in which I answered the question above. It can suggest the idea of starting again in this sort of situation where someone complains about a comment/discussion/argument that comes up again, which can be irritating or annoying as in: Please don't start up that argument. We had enough of it last time. 'Start up' can also be used to start something for the first time as in: Let's listen to the music as I hear that the band has just started up.

Thank you, Alan. Now I understand. I just make my own sentence with it:-)
Please don't start up the argument again because I don't care whether the band has just started up or not. |

Dear Mr Torsten, I was thinking of "start up" and "start off". As I understood that START OFF means to start sth new and START UP means to start something you've done before. Am I right? Please tell in order not to make more mistakes. Thank you!
Best regards |

Dear teacher, As I understand the difference between START UP & START OFF is that the first means to start sth we have done before and "START OFF" means to start sth new. Am I right? Thank you |

You can use 'again' with 'start up'. but in the context you have given it is not usual to use the phrasal verb 'start up'. It is more natural to say: I will start/begin revising because my exam is coming soon.
Although your use of studying is acceptable, in this instance I have chosen to use 'revising' rather than 'studying', because revising means going over the work you have learned and studied during the course, often in preparation for a specific event such as an exam.
Revise: Reread work done previously to improve one's knowledge of a subject, typically to prepare for an examination students frantically revising for exams revise your lecture notes on the topic
You can be said to have been 'studying' every time you have made the effort to listen to, read, speak or write English, whether or not you were preparing for an exam.
study: Devote time and attention to acquiring knowledge on (an academic subject), esp. by means of books she studied biology and botany _________________ Cheers m' dears! |

Dear teachers,
I got nine out of ten. Now it is kind of clear to me the difference between start or begin.
Thanks Rahim |
