About the test

It's about the test of unit 9, in question number 2, it's said that:_____ you have to start work at seven each morning?
It's not about the answer but the sentence , i see it uses "start WORK", is it possible to use infinitive verb in there ? Well, i remember studying using V-ing or V to after "Start". So is it a mistake ?

Hi Tigerpt, good question.
Normally we say:
I start work at 7:00 (start + noun)
I start working at 7:00 (start + ing)

We can't say:
I start to work at 7:00 (start+ infinitive)
See you,
Pieter
