Grammar

Can I use 'undoubtedly,' 'definitely,' 'certainly,' or 'absolutely,' in the beginning of a sentence, instead of in the middle, for emphasis?

Can I use 'undoubtedly,' 'definitely,' 'certainly,' or 'absolutely,' in the beginning of a sentence, instead of in the middle, for emphasis? When I use it as such, a comma should come after it, isn't it?

Undoubtedly/definitely/certainly/absolutely, malnutrition is a worldwide problem that needs to be addressed.

There is nothing wrong with the grammar, but not all the words you offer are the best possible. For example, without a doubt is stronger in meaning than undoubtedly: Without a doubt , malnutrition is a worldwide problem that needs to be addressed. CB
