Eddie88  +  587200 Thu, 13 Nov 08 09:38 AM Is it alright to begin a sentence with 'for' in formal writing? Does it depend on its meaning? For example, when it is a coordinating conjunction, can it begin a sentence? I had a good example where I thought it was alright to use it, but I have forgotten it. Any examples?

It is impossible to say that something is never done or is always correct or wrong. Perhaps a coordinating for can begin a sentence, perhaps not.
