We can use the verbs begin and start to mean the same thing but begin is more formal than start. Begin is an irregular verb. Its past simple form is began and its -ed form is begun: When did you begin learning English?

Hi, Alesia,
These words mean the same thing, but we use "start" more often. "Start" is less formal than "begin" and it can be used in more situations. For example, we say "start the dishwasher," but not "begin the dishwasher."
I hope this helped!

You can to use START only for somethings wich aren't usualy.
Ex: John start to learn English today.
You can to use BEGIN for somethings wich hapen evertime.
Ex: I begin my English lessons every day at 7:00 o'clock.
