Notas de uso
- Use 'cominciare' for actions with a clear starting point; 'iniziare' is more formal and often for events or processes.
- Auxiliary is 'avere' (ho cominciato), but use 'essere' for intransitive or reflexive forms (sono cominciato).
- Common mistake: mixing up 'cominciare a' (to start doing) with 'cominciare da' (to start from/with).
