When we use start in, start up or start with?
Can anyone explain that and suggest examples?
To start… we have comedy.
To start WITH we have comedy.
Why?
“start up” is a phrasal verb with specific uses:
start something up to begin working, happening, etc; to make something do this
I heard his car start up.
Start up the engines!
to start with
- used when you are giving the first and most important reason for something
To start with it’s much too expensive… - at the beginning
The club had only six members to start with.
I’ll have melon to start with.
She wasn’t keen on the idea to start with.
To start with we have comedy.
Those definition s and examples are taken from this page, where you will find a lot more information about the various uses of ‘start’ as a verb:

Dear Miss Beeesneees!
I have a question! in this sentence " you need a …from the Misnistry of Forestry to cut down trees in this area". Answer: a.permission b.remission c.permit d.commit. I chose a.permission but the right answer is c.permit. I really dont understand! Can you help me explain it?
And about this question " Zesta Soups is a …owned subsidiary of Consolidated Food" Answers: a.wholesome b.Full c.thoroughly d.wholly! the right anwer is D but I really see answer C & D that has the same meaning! Can you help me explain?
You need a noun. Here ‘permit’ is a noun (and is pronounced differently from the verb).
‘Whooly owned’ is the standard term for a company or business. The others are not standard (and legally accepted by definition) expressions.
Dear Miss!
in this sentence " you need a …from the Misnistry of Forestry to cut down trees in this area". Answer: a.permission b.remission c.permit d.commit. I really understand your explaination but I’m really confused much because in these answers, permission or permit are also noun and have same meaning!
A ‘permit’ is a paper (or electronically documented) document.
You cannot have ‘a permission’.
Thanks Miss Beeesneees so much!
I’m so clear about that!
