begin的詳細講解：
begin後接的動詞可有多種形式。若其表示的意思是「有意志的」，可以用不定式或動名詞。
He will soon begin to write a novel.He will soon begin writing a novel.寫小說是有意志的。
在結構be beginning中，後面多用不定式，避免...ing的重複。若其表示的意思是「沒有意志的」，多用不定式，不怎麼用動名詞。
She began to like novels at twenty.愛好小說本身是沒意志的。若該動詞是屬於被動語態的，也多用不定式，不怎麼用動名詞。
Begin指「開始」，begin with指「以……開始」。
I shall begin this book today.我今天將開始看這本書。
I shall begin with this book today.我今天將先看這本書，有后看別的書的意思。
begin后一般不加from，且絕對不能接from ... to ...。習慣上begin at the beginning和begin from the beginning表達都很普遍，均指「從頭開始」；
The journey begins from Shanghai.句中的from最好換成其他介詞如at。
The journey begins from Shanghai to Beijing.這句是完全錯誤的。
begin用於主動語態時，后可加被動結構。begin用於被動語態時，容易出現雙重被動的錯誤，應盡量避免。
The book began to be read (by him) last Sunday.
The book was begun (by him) to be read last Sunday.這句話雖語法上無誤，卻不符習慣，因實際上begin to ...的結構是不能作被動語態的。
一般來說，表示持續動作的動詞同表示時刻的詞是不能一起使用的。如rain（下雨）是表示持續動作的動詞，five o'clock是表示時刻的詞語，兩者不可搭配使用。不能說It rained at five o'clock. 可用begin去連接。
It began to rain at three o'clock.雨是在三點的時候開始下的。
英美人普遍使用的幾個句子：
I felt I did not begin to understand him.我覺得自己一點也不了解他。
Your suggestion does not begin to meet the difficulty.你的建議一點解決不了這個困難。
Nothing has begun to interest her so much as folk music.沒有什麼東西曾經像民間音樂一樣引起她的興趣。
begin和commence意思相似，但前者的使用比後者普遍，尤其是口語中。通常正式文字中，會使用commence，如commence hostilities（開始交戰）和Hostilities commenced late that year。commence后多接動名詞，較少接不定式，且多用在有意志的事上；
begin與start的比較：通常來說，begin同start基本上沒有大區別。相對而言，begin較start要正式一些。不過在某些時候，人們習慣用start，如表示『start a journey』（開始旅程）和『start working』（開始工作）中，不用begin；
I began/started teaching when I was 24.我24歲時，開始教書。
We will begin the meeting with a message from the President.It's starting to rain.
用現在式指未來的事時，也可以用begin來表示。
The show begins next week.表演下周開始。
begin的基本意思是「開始」,用作及物動詞時,指做某事的第一個步驟、第一個行動或第一部分,強調某種狀態的「開端」,特別是較緩慢的開端。begin也可用作不及物動詞,以活動、工作、機械為主語,表示開始動或處於動的狀態中。
begin用作及物動詞時,後接名詞、代詞、動名詞、動詞不定式或含有疑問詞的動詞不定式作賓語。begin還可用作系動詞,後接形容詞作表語。
begin可用其現在時表示未來的事,也可用其進行時表示「漸漸開始」「即將開始」等。
begin是非持續性動詞，不能與表示一段時間的狀語連用。但可與表示時間點的狀語連用。
begin的現在分詞beginning還可以在句中作定語或狀語。
to begin with作「首先,起初」解,用作插入語,可放在句首、句中,也可放在句末。
begin可用於被動結構，但用作主動結構時更合習慣，尤其表示「(某事)開始」時。
begin很少用於進行體,偶爾用於進行體後接動詞不定式可作「逐漸…,正在…」解。例如:She was beginning to know him.她逐漸地開始認識他了。
not begin to原是美式英語中的一種口語體表達方式,現在已被英國及其他講英語的國家所接受,它具有兩層含義:①「不能,不會,無法」。例如:He doesn't begin to speak English.他還不會講英語。②「毫不,怎麼也不,根本不」。例如:Your suggestion does not begin to meet the difficulty.你的這個建議一點兒也解決不了這個問題。begin to與其他否定詞(如:no, never, nothing等)連用時,也同屬於這一表達方式。例如:Nothing has begun to interest her so much as folk music.還沒有什麼東西能像民間音樂一樣吸引她。
在有些場合下必須用begin才合乎習慣。例如:They began to run at three o'clock.他們3點鐘開始跑步。因為run是表示連續性動作的動詞, three o'clock表示的是具體時刻,無連續性,不能與run直接搭配。
應當注意避免兩個動名詞或兩個不定式的連續使用。例如不可說:They are beginning improving the road.他們正開始修路。而應說:They are beginning to improve the road.他們開始修路。同樣,不可說:I'd like to begin to study as soon as possible.我願意儘早開始學習。而應說:I'd like to begin studying as soon as possible.我願意儘早學習。
begin to-v, begin v-ing
begin後接動詞不定式和動名詞所表示的意思相近,即「開始」。其區別在於:
1.begin後接動詞不定式表示的動作可以是有意識或無意識的; 而begin後接動名詞通常表示有意識的動作。例如:
He began to pace the room.他開始在房裡走來走去。
When did you begin learning English?你什麼時候開始學英語的?
A cold wind began to blow〔blowing〕 as we stood on the deck of the ship.當我們站在船的甲板上時,一陣冷風開始吹了過來。(注意, wind和heart沒有意志,但風吹和心臟的跳動都可被看作有意志的動作,所以可接動名詞。)
2.當主語不是人,或begin用於進行時,或賓語是表示心理活動的動詞時,最好接動詞不定式而不接動名詞。例如:
It's beginning to rain.天開始下雨了。
He began to understand it.他開始明白了。
3.begin後接動詞不定式時多強調新情況的發生,動作是否繼續下去則不考慮; 接動名詞時,對新動作本身注意較多,而且這動作還將持續一段時間。例如:
He is beginning to look old.他看起來開始有點老了。
They have begun building the house.他們已開始建造房子了。
4.當begin後接不能用於進行時態的動詞(如see, feel等)時只能用動詞不定式而不能用動名詞。例如:
She began to feel it.她開始感覺到它了。
5.當begin後面的動詞屬於被動結構時,通常用動詞不定式,而很少用動名詞。例如:
The novel began to be written last year.這小說去年開始寫。
6.當begin用於進行時態時,後面通常只接動詞不定式,而不用動名詞。例如:
She is beginning to learn English.她開始學習英語。
begin by, begin with
表示「以…開始」,可用介詞by,也可用介詞with,其區別是：
接名詞時一般用with,接動名詞時一般用by。例如:
他們以祈禱的方式開始。
They began by saying a prayer.
They began with a prayer.
begin, commence, originate, start
這組詞都有「開始」的意思。其區別是：
<mence和start有時可互換,但在作「動身,出發」解或某一活動過程的「開始」解時,只能用start。
<mence強調緩慢地開始,而start強調從不動到動或停止后再動。
3.start往往強調「開始」這一行動本身,而commence則含有為了某一目的的意味。
<mence比begin要莊嚴得多,含有正式開始或開幕的意味,如開始舉行典禮、開始審訊案件等。
5.begin是最常用語; commence多用於書面語; start則多用於口語。
6.originate作不及物動詞時,表示「源自」「起始」「發起」等意思; 用作及物動詞時,表示「創始」「發明」。
begin, open
這兩個動詞均可表示「開始」，但open還可表示「開業」，而begin無此義。
inaugurate
這些動詞均含有「開始」之意。
:begin最常用詞，含義廣泛，其反義詞是end，多用於行動、工作等的開始。
:start在許多場合可與begin通用，但start側重動作的起點。
:commence可與begin換用，但commence系書面正式用詞，語氣莊重，特指有正式程序或一定儀式，或某種正式行動的「開始」。
:initiate指創始或發起，側重某過程的第一步，不考慮結束，強調起始。
:inaugurate指正式而隆重的開始。
旅行始於北京而結束於西安。
誤 The journey begins from Beijing to Xi'an.
正 The journey begins at Beijing and ends at Xi'an.
析 begin的基本意思就是「從頭開始」,因此在表示「從…開始」時不可再接from或from...to。

誤 The film has begun for half an hour.
正 The film has been on for half an hour.
析 begin是瞬間動詞,用於完成時態時,不可以和表示一段時間的時間狀語連用。
該開會了。
誤 It's time beginning the meeting.
正 It's time to begin the meeting.
析 習慣上,It's time后不跟begin的動名詞形式。
錯句舉例與錯句分析
錯句：the meeting had begun for five minutes when he arrived there.
糾正：the meeting had on for five minutes when he arrived there.
翻譯：他到的時候，會議已經開始五分鐘了。
分析：begin作為瞬間動詞，不可與表示「一段時間」的狀語連用。
