Question

when are you supoose to use and at the beginning of a sentence??

Just give me some examples

Answer 1

As far as syntax, "and" is a conjunction (also called "connective"), that is, it joins clauses together ("Just rip the stitches and get over with this").

However, as far style, there is a catch. In order to justify your teacher´s argument, you may compare "and" to "or" and also to other conjunctions, as follows:

1. "and" connects words (she and her mother) and clauses (she´s an engineer, and her mother´s a doctor);
2. "or", like "and", connects words (I never smoke or drink) and clauses ("say you´re sorry or I'll never see you again");
3. "or" is never used at the beginning of a sentence in expository writing (this does not apply to literary texts, of course, and to certain emphatic constructions, as "The Answer Man" points out ["she was a nice girl. And smart, too"]):

*"Languages differ in many ways. Or, as linguists say [...]"

In this example, instead of a period, there should be a semicolon:
"Languages differ in many ways; or, as linguists say, [...]".

4. there are other connectives that have the same meaning as "and" ("furthermore", "in addition [to]", "moreover" and "besides", used in formal English; and "also", in informal style); however, these can only join sentences together ("you're missing the big picture here. Also, as I see it, you [...]), not words.

In sum, although it is grammatically correct to use "and" at the beginning of a sentence, for stylistic purposes, it shoud be avoided. Other connectives with the same meaning are certainly more powerful and, certainly, more rhythmic than "and".

Answer 2

As usual with these issues, the argument is between the way English is used and the way it is "supposed to be". Sometimes a full stop is required to drive home a sentence or give a meaningful pause. And an afterthought like this one gets more impact when it's a sentence rather than a conjoined clause. So when someone tells you not to start a sentence with a conjunction, say: "But I've already done it."

What is a conjunction?
A conjunction is a word that joins two clauses, phrases or words together. By this rigid definition, it's not hard to see why some people think they can't be used to start a sentence. Some conjunctions are and, but, or, nor, yet, so and for, and our language has evolved enough to accommodate them at various points in a sentence. Just try not to end a sentence with one ... unless it's absolutely necessary.

Examples
She was a nice girl. And smart, too.
It was a cold, cold day. And wet, too.
I could have danced all night. And I did.

Answer 3

That depends on your teacher. Some people believe that using AND at the beginning of a sentence is a universal no-no. Others believe that it is a stylistic choice. I personally believe that there is nothing wrong with starting sentences with AND, if it flows with the rest of the piece. Here's an example,

Myra Bradwell was an independant woman who exemplified the best traits that should be embodied by lawyers. And while she faced hardships, Bradwell continued to fight for what she believed in.

Answer 4

Example: And is a conjunction.
Explanation: You may use it as the first word if you are talking about the word itself. Otherwise it connects words, phrases or clauses and therefore would not be at the beginning of a sentence.

Answer 5

in English we usually never use and at the beginning of a sentence.

Answer 6

never. it is not recommended by the teachers to use and at the beginning of a sentence.

Answer 7

No, you never would want to use "and" at the beginning of the sentence. The word "and" is a conjunction word.
