Begin and start are very similar in meaning but start is more often used in informal speech. They can be followed by to or by the -ing form of a verb. When begin or start are themselves in the -ing form they must be followed by to. In some meanings only start can be used. Commence is much more formal than begin and start and is not usually used in conversation.
