What does this mean?

In the assignment instructions, I am instructed to "pass a space and start as parameters" after calling a function. What does this mean?

Pass a space and start.....

Means nothing to me right now, maybe with some context? Paste as much of your assignment as possible to make it clearer.
Write a program that will input a phrase and convert it to pig latin. Put each word in a separate element of a string array. Remove the first letter from each word and concatenate it to the end of the word followed by “ay.”

Sample Output from Program:
*****************************************************
* You will be prompted to enter a string of *
* words. The string will be converted into *
* Pig Latin and the results displayed. *
* Enter as many strings as you would like. *
******************************************************

Enter a group of words or ENTER to quit: Computer Programming is fun to learn!

Original words: Computer Programming is fun to learn!
New Words: omputercay ogrammingpray isway unfay otay earnlay!

Enter a group of words or ENTER to quit: Quit

Pig Latin Hint:
If a word begins with one or more consonants, move the consonant or consonant cluster to the end of the word. Add the letters "ay" to the end of the word. So, "pig" would be "igpay," and “latin” would be “atinlay.”

Step 2: Processing Logic
Using the pseudocode below, write the code that will meet the requirements.

Main function
Display the heading
While the condition is true
Prompt the user for group of words or Enter to quit
Display original words
Call function pigLatinString( )
End while

pigLatinString( ) function
Declare and initialize string variables len, counter, start, begin, word and newString
While condition is true
Call find() and pass a space and start as parameters and return the returned value
to start
if start equals to string::npos
jump outside the loop permanently
call substr() function
display the word
update newString
increment start by one
assign start to begin
End While
Call substr()
Update newString
Return newString

I have seen this code on my Java textbook.
@John1 I don't suppose you have any recollection of how to do this in theory, do you?
