Is it ok to start a sentence with also?



Also, I had given him the file you sent me.




Answer



Certainly, it is correct to begin a sentence with also. All adverbs (also inclusive) can be used at the beginning of a sentence with the proper punctuation. For instance, the first sentence in this answer begins with an adverb. Other examples are:




  • Furthermore, we have exhausted all the other options.

  • Definitely, you can use my car.

  • Surely, he could do better.

  • Besides*, she had my number and could have called.




*Note that Besides is used here as an adverb not a preposition.
