You will need to install a phase converter or change the motor to single phase.

You would use a single-phase induction motor if the available electric power supply is a single-phase one. That applies to the average house or small business.
No. That would be a single phase motor.
You don't. A three phase motor will not start unless it is connected to a three phase supply.
All types of motor can be run from a single-phase supply provided the frequency, voltage and power capacity of the supply matches that of the motor and it has been designed to run on single-phase.
To use a single/one phase motor instead of a three phase motor is possible if you have a three phase power supply as you will only need to tap one of the three phases together with neutral and an earthwire, however to use a three phase motor instead of a single phase will require the provision of three phase power supply.
Terminology gets misapplied but a 3-phase converter produces a 3 phase supply from a single phase supply. The only proviso is that generator, converter and motor are all suitably rated and compatible.
Shunt motors do operate on single phase AC. There are millions, if not billions of them worldwide running right now.Make certain your voltage supply is correct for your motor. Also, make certain you're providing the proper amperage. Make sure it's not a three phase motor. (three phase motors won't operate on single phase power.) If your supply voltage and amp supply is correct and the motor still doesn't run, you've got a bad motor.
The difference between a single phase and a three phase motor is the amount of power conductors that feed the device. As to the other part of the question a three phase motor will not start or run on single phase. The phase angles on three phase are 120 degrees apart on a single phase system they are 180 degrees apart.
The winding design of the motor will not economically allow this to work. You would have to drive a 3 phase generator to supply it.
To answer this question the motor's voltage must be stated and whether the supply voltage is single phase or three phase.
That happens when the supply is turned off, and the motor runs down and stops.
