Dear Teachers,

Please help me with these two questions:

Is it correct if I use the phrase "in the beginning OF..."?

What is the money the author of an article receives called?

I am looking forward to your reply.

Thank you.

Best regards,

The phrase "In the beginning of" is correct if used in front of something that has a beginning.

"In the beginning of the race, I was nervous."

If you use it on its own or at the end of a sentence, it would not make sense.
