Begin is the present tense. "I am about to begin doing something." "I begin now."



Began is the past. "Last week, I began to realize that it was winter."



Hope this helps.

To begin something is to start something. It is the present form of a word. Began means you are already in the process of doing something and have started something a while ago. It is the past form of the word.



" I will begin my science project tonight."



"I began making my science project an hour ago, but I got annoyed by my cat, who began to get in my way every 30 seconds."

I will begin to answer your question as soon as I have an answer.



She began the test when the clock struck 2.



One is present , and the other is past.



Also -- "has began" is absolutely INcorrect. It would be "has begun."

Began is the past tense. It occurs alone. Begun is the past participle. It occurs after the verb 'have'.
