It is no longer considered an error to begin a sentence with “And” or “But”. And that is why this sentence begins with “And”. This is quite a recent change and one that has probably arisen because people started to ask why not.
However, do not overdo it. Beginning a sentence with “And” or “But” is best kept for those occasions when you want to draw particular attention to something or to emphasize something.
A whole string of
sentences beginning in this way is going to sound very tedious and
suggest a lack of talent or imagination in the writer.
