start的详细讲解：
start与begin意思差不多，但是start意思稍广，有启动的意思。另外在更正式的形式中，更偏向于使用begin；
start表示“动身”时，常与for, from连用，但是不怎么与at连用。
I aw starting for Shanghai tomorrow.我明天出发去上海。
start表示“动身”时，还常用现在时或现在进行时表示将来时。
I start tomorrow.
start in/out同start一样，解释为“开始”，是不及物动词，常用于口语。
He started (in/out) the task at once.他马上开始任务。
start有如下搭配：start doing， start to do， start in，start in doing；
at the start与from the start之间的区别：at the start是起初的意思，from the start是从头便。
start的基本意思是“从静止状态转移到运动状态”,可指工作、活动等的开始; 战争、火灾等的发生; 也可指人开始工作,着手某项活动等; 还可指人、事物使某事情发生或引起某事情。
start可用作不及物动词,也可用作及物动词。用作及物动词时,可接名词、代词、动名词、动词不定式作宾语,也可接以现在分词充当补足语的复合宾语。start偶尔还可用作系动词,接形容词作表语。
start可用一般现在时或现在进行时来表示将来。
start后可接动名词或动词不定式。接动名词时常表示动作将持续下去,接动词不定式时常表示动作的开始。
start用作可数名词的基本意思是“开始,出发,起点”,可指做某件事情的开始,也可指某件事情的开始地点,是可数名词。
start也可用于表示某件事开始时就有“领先地位,有利条件”,通常用作不可数名词,但可用不定冠词a修饰。
start还可作“惊动,惊起”解,一般为可数名词,经常用单数形式,与不定冠词a连用。
start v-ing, start to-v
start后可接动名词也可接动词不定式,一般来说在意义上没有区别。不过：
1.接动名词时常说明动作将持续下去,接动词不定式时只表示动作的开始。试比较:
She started talking about the old days, and kept on for more than an hour.
她说起了过去的事情,一直说了一个多 小时。
She started to speak, but stopped because I objected.
她开始讲话,但因我反对而停了下来。
2.表示无意识地“开始做某事”时,用动词不定式的情况多些。例如:
Suddenly it started to rain.突然下起雨来。
3.涉及多次活动时,用动名词的情况多些。例如:
He used to start singing loudly when he felt frightened walking alone in the darkness.当他独自在黑暗中走路感到害怕时,便常常唱起歌来。
4.用于进行体时只能接动词不定式。例如:
It was cold and starting to snow.天很冷了,开始下起雪来。
start, begin, commence, originate
这组词都有“开始”的意思。其区别是：
<mence和start有时可互换,但在作“动身,出发”解或某一活动过程的“开始”解时,只能用start。
<mence强调缓慢地开始,而start强调从不动到动或停止后再动。
3.start往往强调“开始”这一行动本身,而commence则含有为了某一目的的意味。
<mence比begin要庄严得多,含有正式开始或开幕的意味,如开始举行典礼、开始审讯案件等。
5.begin是最常用语; commence多用于书面语; start则多用于口语。
6.originate作不及物动词时,表示“源自”“起始”“发起”等意思; 用作及物动词时,表示“创始”“发明”。
start, leave
这两个词的共同意思是“离开”。其区别是：
1.start只用作不及物动词;leave既可用作不及物动词,也可用作及物动词。
2.leave指“离开”某地〔人〕或“退出”学校、社团等;start是出发的日常用语,往往意味着乘车离开某地,出发、动身或启程到另一地去。例如:
He left the school at thirteen.他13岁就离开了学校。
The accountant has threatened to leave.会计曾威胁说要辞职。
The ship starts.船开了。
Well,I think we ought to be starting.嗯,我看我们该动身了。
3.用作不及物动词时, leave常附带说明离开时所使用的工具,有时还可表示“辞职”。
下面两句意思相同:
Tears started to her eyes.
Tears started from her eyes.
她的眼泪夺眶而出。
下面各组中两句意思不同:
We started the journey to Japan last week.
我们上星期开始到日本旅行。
We started on the journey to Japan last week.
我们上星期首途去日本。
Shall we start this work?
我们开始做这工作好吗?
Shall we start with this work?
我们首先从这项工作开始好吗?
inaugurate
这些动词均含有“开始”之意。
:begin最常用词，含义广泛，其反义词是end，多用于行动、工作等的开始。
:start在许多场合可与begin通用，但start侧重动作的起点。
:commence可与begin换用，但commence系书面正式用词，语气庄重，特指有正式程序或一定仪式，或某种正式行动的“开始”。
:initiate指创始或发起，侧重某过程的第一步，不考虑结束，强调起始。
:inaugurate指正式而隆重的开始。
这些动词均含“离开某处”之意。
:depart较正式用词，指经过周密考虑或郑重地离开，强调离开的起点。
:leave侧重出发地而不是目的地。
:go一般用词，指从所在地到其它地方去，着重目的地而非出发地。
:start可与leave换用，强调目的地，但不及leave普通。
:quit侧重指离开令人烦恼的地方，或摆脱使人不快的人或事。
:set out书面用词。
我们明天5点动身去天津。
误 We will start for Tianjin at five tomorrow.
正 We start for Tianjin at five tomorrow.
析 start表示“动身”时,通常用一般现在时表示将来,用于表达根据规定、计划预计要发生的动作或状态。
他马上就动身。
误 He is about to start at once.
正 He is about to start.
析 start表示“正打算动身”“正要出发”时不能和at once, immediately等时间状语连用。
首先,我们没有足够的资金; 其次,我们没有足够的时间。
误 To start, we haven't enough money, and secondly we haven't enough time.
正 To start with, we haven't enough money, and secondly we haven't enough time.
析 表示“首先”可用固定短语to start with,不可说to start。
烟引起她咳嗽。
误 The smoke started her to cough.
正 The smoke started her coughing.
析 当动词start表示“引起…做某事”时,可接现在分词(短语)作其宾语的补足语,不可接动词不定式作其宾语的补足语。
错句举例与错句分析
错句：the quarrel started in competition between two tribes.
纠正：the quarrel originated in competition between two tribes.
翻译：争论起源于两个部落之间的竞争。
分析：originate是起源于的意思，这句话的意思是战争起源于两个部落的竞争，更符合意思。
☆ 直接源自古英语的describere，意为跳跃；最初源自原始日耳曼语的sturtjan，意为落下，翻滚。
