Commencer à does not work

Bonjour !

I have been told by French people that I cannot apply this rule to the verb commencer à.

For example:

Je commence à faire mes devoirs. J'y commence.

I am starting to do my homework. I'm starting it.

Is it an exception ? Or is it just socially not regularly used ?

Merci !

toujours as still vs. always

This isn't directly related to the lesson content, but regarding the example

Sache que je pense toujours à toi.

Know that I'm still thinking of you

How do we know to translate toujours to "still" in this case, as opposed to "always"?
