00 Yes, both can be used at the beginning of a sentence. Many grammarians and style guides recommend avoiding 01 i 00 maybe 02 i 00 in the middle of a clause, in the position that adverbs of frequency occupy (seldom, always, never, etc.) 02 br
01 i 00 Maybe/perhaps he saw us. 02 i 02 br
01 i 00 He would 01 b 00 p

0 Thanks CB. Then for starting a sentence, the choice of 01 i 00 maybe 02 i 00 and 01 i 00 perhaps 02 i 00 is just a personal preference, isn't it? I use 01 i 00 perhaps 02 i 00 most of the time, but is now thinking perhaps I may use 01 i 00 maybe 02 i 00 more often. Maybe it's a good idea. 0-
