I'm the parent of a 2nd grader and I'm looking for a good explanation for the difference between the verb began and begun. Thank you in advance.
Why do they have difference structures, if they communicate the same meanings ? 1. He began/started crying. 2. He began/started to cry. Are they both grammatical? Do they have different meanings?
It began to rain/began raining when we got home. Do both 'to rain' and 'raining' work as well for the sentence, please?
"start + infinitive" = The decision of starting had been taken before the learning process began "start + gerund" = The learning process began as soon as the decision was taken. Really? How about the following sentences:- a) I started to speak intelligibly when I was two years old. (When was the decision of starting taken, may I ask?
