Starting a Sentence with "And"

There is no problem starting a sentence with the word and. Though we would not necessarily choose to start a short sentence with and, it is not incorrect. When many sentences are strung together with and between them, you must call a halt and start a sentence with and. The rule of thumb is no more than three separate sentences before you use a period. ...She was walking near the tracks, and she did not seem to be having any problems, and she noticed the sound of a train.
