Well, you could write a sentence first. And then you could write another. Generally, though, it's not proper grammar to use those words at the beginning of a sentence. Because you're supposed to use them to connect two things in one sentence.

sure, yet this is going the comparable way as "elect to" became "wanna" and "going to" became "gonna", and different issues like that. it is already an primary area of cutting-edge literature. (i think of. Now do no longer flame me.) And this rule, of no longer beginning sentences is in simple terms in school syllabuses and formal literature, i've got self assurance. i do no longer hate it while authors do it, till, such as you reported, it provides to the unconventional. And the two 1st and third guy or woman carry it off properly, yet 1st guy or woman extra. via fact it is like a guy or woman speaking, and in "communique" with human beings we don't circulate "He dug his nails sharply into gentle fingertips, praying he might wake. The lifeless lady, even nonetheless, did no longer fade from his imaginative and prescient." -sigh-

Yes indubitably!. The rules of grammar are, nowadays, accepted to be far more flexible for informal writing - such as novels.
There is no good reason not to begin a sentence with "and".
For example. - The new people are the children of the industrialists who built Japan Inc. They are as familiar with hamburgers as they are with rice balls. They belong to gangs, cliques and trends. And they are Japan's future.
Similarly ...Because they are Japan's future.
(substituting "because" for "and")

You could do something like: Because I had a piece of pie after dinner, I was very full. You just have to put a dependent clause then a comma then an indipendent clause.

You shouldnt because it is not proper english. Although I have seen it in many many novels, you shouldnt but you can. It is up to you. And if you want to know how, you could use dialouge, or something like this sentence. =)

Never use and or because at the beginning of a sentence. Try 'As well as this' or 'what's more'. For because try 'for this reason' .

You can use "And" at the beginning of a sentence but not because. Its true, but i have found what makes a real writer is someone who makes there own rules. >And then there was nothing.< good luck.

It is not good grammer to start a sentence with a conjunction, such as "and". The best way to work it in would be to have a character ue it in dialog. "And another thing!"
"Because" is easier. "Because he was an alcoholic, he got drunk." That is still not 100% proper grammer, but it's more accepted.

They are conjunctions. You are not supposed to start a sentence with a conjunction.
