It helps the listener understand the starting point of a situation. Very often, what comes after is different. Let’s look at this pattern:Examples:1- To start with, I didn’t understand the instructions, but after a few tries, everything became clearer.2- To start with, she wasn’t sure she wanted to join, but after listening for a while, she changed her mind.
