I can't remember what we learned about verb tenses/aspects by second grade. As TDOL said, "begun" is the past participle of the verb "begin".
We use the past participle with an auxiliary verb to form the present perfect: I have begun/You have begun/He has begun/We have begun/They have begun, or the past perfect: I/you/he/we/they had begun.
