Because
Hi everybody,
I have a question. When I was in high school my english teacher who was also living in England for a long time, told us that we should not use 'Because' at the begining of the sentences. Is that right, because whenever I start writing an essay or whatelse I always wonder if I should write it at the begining or the the middle after the comma.
What is your advice?
Thank you in advance for your respond.

I don't think I'm a member of the grammar police, but I do teach my third graders to avoid using because at the beginning of sentences. They are much more likely to write complete sentences when they express themselves without it.
