Description
Beginning a sentence with "As", "When", "Before", "After", or "Because", implies that an immediately following clause is not the main clause of the sentence, as would have otherwise been the case, but instead is a subordinate that must be followed by the main clause. Ending the sentence without a main clause is problematic. Conversely, following an initial clause with a second clause (without linking it to the initial clause with "and", "but", "despite", or a similar coordinator or subordinator) is unexpected and odd.
