Can you star a sentence with the word and?

Answer 1

Most conventional teachers say no to this question and mark it as wrong in a piece of writing, but starting a sentence with a conjunction such as "and" can be used stylistically in your writing.

If writing something that is to be graded by a teacher, it may be in your grade's best interest to ask them if you will be marked down for starting a sentence with "and."

Answer 2

Yes, it is generally considered acceptable to start a sentence with the word "and" in informal writing. However, in more formal or academic writing, it is better to avoid starting a sentence with "and" to maintain clarity and professionalism.
