Описание: There are different ways to start a sentence in English. Using pronoun (I, we, you, they, he, she, it) is the most popular way to begin a sentence. But there are many other words which are widely used to start a sentence. They might be question words (what, where, etc.). They might be words formed from verbs, ending in -ing, -ed, -en, etc. Besides, words such as 'to' 'in' 'with', 'if', 'after' are also used to begin a sentence. Here, you will learn various words and phrases to start a sentence with. - Important Note: Starting a sentence with 'and' or 'but' is correct or not Using 'And' or 'But' to begin a sentence is generally considered grammatically Incorrect. But there is no hard and fast rule in this regard. So, you can use 'And' or 'But' to begin a sentence. But avoid excessive use of these words to begin a sentence. Use these words in the beginning of a sentence only when they really give strength to your language. - Note: It is said that a sentence should not be begun with a conjunction of any kind, especially one of the FANBOYS (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so). But this is not hard and fast rule. Particularly in spoken English, starting a sentence with 'And' or 'But' is common. - How to start a sentence -- Using 'AS' - As a matter of fact no notice was given to anyone. As a policeman myself, I am aware of all the laws. As against last time four days, the fair will last for five days this year. As always, he won the match. As an interim arrangement, we directed the authorities not to return the land. As fate would have it, he crossed the international border. As for David, he is doing fine. As he got busy, she picked up his son. As he grew older, he developed his communications skills. As if the bad power situation in the city wasn't enough, the hike in power tariff has come as the last straw for residents. As in the past, party president distanced herself from the government's unpopular decision. As long as here is violence by unruly mobs, use of police force is inevitable. As often happened, he forgot to send me reply. As part of the deal, they will hand-over control of five west bank towns. As penance, he vowed to never scold any kid ever again. As per his version, nobody had got injured in the incident. As per rules, the same bill should be passed by the two Houses of the Parliament before it is sent to the President for his signature and promulgation for implementation. As sanitary workers are absent on most of the days, sweeping of that road is also irregular resulting in trash along the road. As the bus was nearing, / As the bus neared him, he moved aside. As the day progressed, over a hundred men protestors gathered at the office. As the electric cables are hanging loosely, it may anytime lead to major accident if any passer-by comes into contact. As the mercury levels are dropping each day, difficulties for the poor are constantly rising. As the war widened, they had to leave the city. As we progresses, it is going to become more and more difficult. As you know, I have sent him a letter.

Or Exclamatory words that can stand alone as a sentence while expressing emotions or reactions are called exclamations (or interjections). Exclamation mark ( ) should be written after an exclamation. "Exclamation Mark" is called "Exclamation Point" in American English. There are many exclamatory words (interjections or exclamations) which are often used in daily life. Some of these words express one strong emotion while others express two or more strong emotions. They do not have a grammatical purpose in the sentence and are not associated to the other parts of the sentence. They do not play the role of a subject or a verb. They can stand by themselves, or are placed before, after or in middle of a sentence to express a strong emotion or feeling. Examples: Exclamatory Word -- Alas Represents feeling of 'Sadness, Sorry', Exclamatory Word -- Um Represents feeling of 'Hesitation', Exclamatory Word -- Yum Represents feeling of 'Pleasant Taste or Smell' - You can use exclamations to show the following emotions: admiration, affection, anger, annoyance, anticipation, apathy, approval, attention, awe, confusion, delight, despair, disappointment, disapproval, discontent, dislike, distress, eagerness, elation, enjoyment, excitement, fear, frustration, grief, happiness, humour, hurt, irritation, joy, love, mourning, pain, panic, pleasure, pride, remorse, respect, shame, shock, sorrow, sorry, surprise, sympathy, terror, wonder, etc. - IMPORTANT NOTES: (1). Use Of An Exclamation (Interjection) In A Sentence (a). Beginning A Sentence With An Interjection -- When you begin a sentence with an interjection you can place either comma (, ) or exclamatory mark (point) ( ) after the interjection. Examples: Ah, what a wonderful gift Comma (, ) after an interjection expresses less emotion. Ah What a wonderful gift Exclamatory mark (point) ( ) after an interjection expresses more emotion. Note: Both the sentences have exclamatory mark at the end. Obviously, both are exclamatory sentences. But second one is more emphatic. Also note: if you put comma after an interjection then next word in the sentence will begin from small letter but if you put exclamatory mark after an interjection then next word in the sentence will begin from capital letter. Important Note: You can also end the sentence with period (.) or question mark (?) to show mild emotion. Ah, what a wonderful gift. Ah What a wonderful gift. Wow, We won. Oh, did you go there? (B). Use Of An Interjection In The Middle Of A Sentence Examples: Hundreds of people, alas, feared killed in a massive landslide. Albert Einstein was born in...er...Germany. You deleted my folder...um...my file (C). Use Of An Interjection At The End Of A Sentence Example: So got married, huh What do you think of me, eh?
