Â· just now. Report Abuse. It is commonly known NEVER to use And at the beginning of a sentence. The use of Also to start, should not happen as you know, but it is often used even by the media, and with this world of slang and incorrect pronounciation, it is a little more acceptable.It is better if you can help retain the correct usage of the English language though.he main disagreement against using 'and' or a conjunction to start a sentence is the fear it will lead to a sentence fragment. And, the Cretaceous period. (FRAGMENT) We all fall into writing habits and traps.
Readerâs question: I would like to know the appropriate punctuation when using the words however, therefore, furthermore. Answer: My guidelines for words such as however, therefore and furthermore (adverbial conjuncts) are as follows. If you use these words at the beginning of a sentence, put a comma after them. However, we intend following up shortly. Some modern writers are now dropping the comma, but I still like it because I think it indicates a pause. Use a semicolon and comma with these words to introduce a new independent clause in the middle of a sentence. We plan to stay for another year; however, Peter is leaving now. When you use however, furthermore or therefore as intensifiers or for emphasis, you need commas around both sides of them. We, however, do not agree with the verdict. PS An independent clause is a group of words that contains a subject and verb and expresses a complete thought.
