【中学レベル】
I don’t know where to start
→私はどこで始めるべきか分かりません

ここで重要な文法事項は疑問詞＋to不定詞です。
まず確認ですが、疑問詞とは、疑問文で使う
what,where,when,which,who,how
などの事です。それがto~と引っ付いて意味を成します。
文頭に来ることはまずないので、そこで見極めてください。
意味は以下の通りです。
what to ~　何を～すべきか
where to ~　どこで～すべきか
when to ~　いつ～すべきか
which to ~　どちらを～すべきか
how to ~　～の仕方、~の方法
です。もちろんto~の~には動詞の原形が入ります。
how to だけ、他のものと意味の作りが違いますが、これが一番よく使うと思うので、覚えておきましょう。
例）I know how to study English.
私は、英語の勉強の仕方を知っています。
