Willk - I would have thought that you of all people would know that sentences never start with the word 'or'. A very basic error by you.

Stew-oh dear, yes, they can. At least 10 pc of sentences start with a conjunction such as and, but, because and or. Try and pick a subject you know something about and maybe don’t take on an English teacher next time you’re doing it.

very impressive. would suggest you are have just done a copy and paste from google rather than being an English teacher though?
"There is a widespread belief—one with no historical or grammatical foundation—that it is an error to begin a sentence with a conjunction such as and, but or so. In fact, a substantial percentage (often as many as 10 percent) of the sentences in first-rate writing begin with conjunctions.29 May 2014"

I did double check but I am actually an English teacher and know that sentences can most certainly start with conjunctions. Go get a book and see how many start with because, and but etc-especially in dialogue.

with all your football "knowledge" I thought you must have spent quite a few years playing and coaching rather than being an english teacher?

I run the school sports teams as an extra curricular activity. But I’ve only coached from under 7s to under 16s, not adults.

Why do some people spend their whole time on here being rude or just disagreeing with every opinion anyone else has, its normally someone who cant satisfy their missus and this is their way of having some authority , the keyboard is a safe place i suppose ha it is a bit sad isn’t it, quite pathetic really, leave the forum for football talk not personal insults, I think some people live their life on this forum, it used to be constructive and a bit of fun. Shame a few so called fans think it’s all about them! Grow up I say.
