Please, someone could explain me the difference between START and BEGIN. This is correct: Have the parade began? It started two hours ago. Thanks in advance. Have a nice day! Warm regards Maria |

We can use the verbs begin and start to mean the same thing but begin is more formal than start. When did you begin learning English? The meeting didn�t start until 9 pm. We use start, but not begin, to talk about machines |

It �s also worth remembering that the noun from begin is BEGINNING. (Let �s begin at the beginning.) However, the noun from start is START. (Let �s start at the start.) In my opinion, beginning is less physical than start. At the beginning of the story, the bears go for a walk. The cars lined up at the start, ready to race. Your example sentence should read: Has the parade begun? You could also say: Has the parade started? |
