Anonymous what is the deferent between start and begin, and where is the best place to use them Their meanings overlap, but START can be used as a verb (transitive and intransitive) or a noun, whereas BEGIN is only a verb, usually intransitive. The corresponding noun is BEGINNING. "The show is about to START" / "The show is about to BEGIN", and "START to speak" / "BEGIN to speak" - in both pairs, START and BEGIN are used as intransitive verbs, and both sentences are valid and have the same meaning.
