| Re: start to their show/ start their show Hello Brend, These are both fine: 1. They started their show immediately. 2. They immediately started their show. This one has a different meaning: 3. They immediately started to their show. In older English, it would have meant "They immediately set off for their show". However, that meaning of "start to" is no longer current; and it wouldn't make much sense, in this context! Best wishes, MrP brend10 likes this.
