(In my best grandma voice) I remember the good old days….. when I was at school and we were taught not to begin a sentence with the words and, but or because.
Due to the changes in our language this rule is being relaxed and is used in certain circumstances if it makes sense. However it’s very annoying when the students over here get away with doing it when their work makes no sense.
They don’t learn the difference between spoken English and written English. Even a lot of the teachers here don’t understand the rule or why so many ALT’s get mad over it.
I was on a one-woman mission to drill this into my students’ heads today. Not sure if they will remember it but I hope so!
