Is it OK to start a sentence with with?

Where can I use like and likes?
We can see that the noun “like”, when used with pronouns, can be defined in singular and plural as:
- like = I, we, you, they (“I like running”, “We like running”… etc)
- likes = He, she, it (“He likes running”… etc)
Can you start a sentence with especially?
There is no word which cannot start a sentence, especially in colloquial or informal texts. Formal and academic English (writing a letter to your boss, writing a report for your professor) have historical and conventional rules, such as not starting with a conjunction (but, nor, etc.) or not starting with the word because.
Can you start a sentence with such as?
Yes, you can start a sentence with such as. No, the sentence in the question is not a great example of doing so. (But the whole passage is more semantically dubious than syntactically dubious—and the use of such asis not its only problem.)
Can I use ‘while’ at the beginning of a sentence?
While at the Beginning of a Sentence. When while is the first word of your sentence, you obviously shouldn’t add a comma in front of it. But if you’re using while to mean “whereas,” you still need to put a comma somewhere. Put it at the end of the clause that while introduces.
Can I start a sentence with indeed?
Expressions such as yes, no and indeed (which usually feature at the start of a sentence) are known as interjections. When used at the start of a sentence, an interjection can be followed by a comma or an exclamation mark.
