Begin, start, and commence all have a similar meaning, although commence is more formal and is not normally used in conversation. The meeting is ready to begin... He tore the list up and started a fresh one. ...an alternative to commencing the process of European integration. Note that begin, start, and commence can all be followed by an -ing form or a noun, but only begin and start can be followed by a 'to' infinitive.
begin, start 和 commence 意思相近,但 commence 更爲正式,通常不用在日常對話中:The meeting is ready to begin(會議可以開始了),He tore the list up and started a fresh one(他把清單撕碎,開始另列一張),an alternative to commencing the process of European integration(啓動歐洲一體化進程的另一種方式)。注意,begin, start 和commence 後都可以接 -ing 形式或名詞,但只有 begin 和 start 可以接帶 to 的動詞不定式。
