Hi Minea! In formal writing (like an essay), it's better to avoid it. But in casual speaking or texting, people start sentences with "But" all the time! ✨

Great question! You ONLY need the comma if "and" connects two FULL sentences (with a Subject and a Verb on both sides). If it just connects two words (like 'apples and oranges' or 'tall and handsome'), you do not use a comma! 🔍
