Today, I asked my class teacher during lunchtime. Can you start a sentence with because?
A few days ago, I asked the same question to my friend who is excellent at English speaking? But, He Didn’t clear my question the same question I asked you have you got any Idea Sir?
The Teacher’s Answer:
It is grammatically correct to start a sentence with “because,” but it is important that the sentence expresses a complete thought. In order to form a complete sentence, “because” must be followed by a subject and a predicate.
Consider the following examples of complete sentences that begin with “because”:
My internet went down because of the severe storm.
When we use the phrase “because I was happy” or “because of the severe storm,” they may not be considered complete sentences on their own. However, it is acceptable in English to use “because” to begin a response to a question in informal writing or speaking.
For instance, if your friend asks you why you were smiling, you may reply with “because I was happy.” Similarly, if your coworker inquires about your internet outage, you could say “because of the storm.”
Note that in these instances, a period is not always necessary after the “because” phrase, as they are not complete sentences. However, some English speakers do choose to include a period in informal writing, such as texts or emails.
