Sentence starting with "Because"

0 Someone told me that it's wrong to start a sentence with the word "Because", e.g.02br
02br
00 Because it is raining, you shouldn't go out.02br
02br
00But it's OK to say02br
02br
00 Since it is raining, you shouldn't go out.02br
02br
00Is it true? If yes, why is it so?02br
02br
00Thanks.02br

0 01b01font00G.G. is correct. One note I would add, however. If the "because" clause comes after the main clause, there is no comma needed. Not a logical rule - just a convention.02font02b00 0-
