What's the difference about 'begin' and 'start'?
"We can begin whenever you are ready". Can I write with start instead of begin or it's wrong?

Thanks for your help! =)

Answer

They are interchangeable. The difference is:

Begin is formal 
Start is informal

Answer

Yes you say, 'We can start whenever you are ready.'  As Craig says they are mostly interchangeable.

However there is a nuance in some cases with time between these two verbs
You can start a car and then begin driving.  Start has the sense of an action happening immediately.  You can never begin a car.  You can start the machine you can never say you begin the machine.

Answer

Actually, is 'between' not 'about' =)
