  "Mr Jones said something then" should be: Mr Jones started to say something then. (contributor: bamboo4)
  
• fixed. (contributor: dc)
  
• dashita is more of a sudden reaction or stituation (contributor: infinite_trial)
  
• verb+dashita,hajimeta,owatta,tsuzukeru are jlpt level 3 grammar points (contributor: ramu)
  
• what is the difference beetween dashita and hajimatta??Pls help me (contributor: holland)
  
• There's a discussion of the difference between verb+出す (dasu) and verb+始める (hajimeru) over in the comments on -hajimeru. The consensus is that verb+出す is more of a sudden or explosive starting (like busrting into tears), while verb+始める is just simply starting.
  
  Note also that this use of 出す is NOT the same as the standalone verb 出す, which means to take something from a more enclosed/private place or situation and put it in a more open/public one. 出す only means "start to do" when it's tacked onto another verb stem... and even then it may still have the above meaning:
  取り出す - take (an object) out (of a container)
  追い出す - chase (someone) out (contributor: KWhazit)
