Hello everyone,
Are the following sentences natural?
1. He starts playing the guitar at 6:20pm.
2. He begins to swim at 9:20am.

I think all are natural because they talk about a planned action or a regular action in which the doers of the actions always "start" or "begin" either "swimming", "running", or "playing" at those times.
Regards,
Joseph
