I prefer 'starting time' too, but Google Ngram Viewer shows that 'start time' has rocketed past 'starting time' in the last 30 years, first in American English, then also in British English. 'finish time' overtook 'finishing time' even earlier (50 years ago).
I searched specifically for START time, which matches any form of "start". Do note that "start time" seems to be overrepresented because there are one or two sources that use the expression a lot, with each instance being reported as its own hit.
So, "What time does it start?" and "What time does the train leave?" are correct, and "What time it starts?" and "What time the train leaves?" are not correct. (The main exception is that inversion is not used when a wh-word is the subject of the question. For example, if we want to ask for the identity of the passenger of a train, we say "Who ...
"When I was starting/starting out/starting off as a mixed martial arts student, I used to receive a lot of injuries." "You speak quite good English for a beginner (in English learning). I could not even introduce myself in English when I was starting/starting out/starting off."
You could insert the verb after the date. (1) You could paraphrase the sentence. (2) You could use a preposition before the date. (3) August 22 nd, 2012, was the day when my life changed forever and the day I met you. 22 nd of August, 2012, changed my life forever because it was then that I met you.
However, your sentence does not refer to a price range but rather the starting point of a price range. As such, it is correct to say that the start occurs at $10000. However, "from" in this case is certainly understood and in use. "From" could be used without the explicit reference to the starting point in order to convey the same meaning.
In fact, [scheduled][1] in this context is an adjective, meaning "planned to happen at a particular time". So we use present simple because, at the moment, the schedule says that it will happen at the specified time, even if the scheduling happened in the past.
1. The usage of "to now" is just how you have it in your examples, with "up to now", "till now", and "up until now" all being different variations with the same meaning. It is just the a time-span from a starting point, (March, in this case), up until this moment. All of these answers are correct in various contexts.
We would never use to start in this context. You can say "I could see her eyes start to tear up", and there is no great difference in meaning between that and "starting to" except that -ing emphasises that it was a gradual process. Particular verbs (and adjectives) take particular kinds of complement, and there are few general rules. Verbs of ...
Sep 26, 2022 at 13:13. 1. Either preposition (or none at all) is syntactically fine. But from is significantly more common - probably, as @Sam suggests, because it specifically denotes an origin / start (as opposed to to, which denotes a destination / end). – FumbleFingers.
