English Usage - and.

1.Many people believe that conjunctions such as and, but, and because should not be used to start a sentence. They argue that a sentence starting with a conjunction expresses an incomplete thought and is therefore incorrect. Writers down the centuries, from Shakespeare to David Lodge, have ignored this advice, however, typically for rhetorical effect: What are the government’s chances of winning in court? And what are the consequences?
2.On the expression try and do something, See TRY AND.
3.For information about whether it is more correct to say both the boys and the girls or both the boys and girls, See BOTH.
4.Where items in a list are separated by and, the following verb needs to be in the plural: See OR.
