Can i use it at the beginning of a sentence?
Hello!. How are you? Thanks in advance!
It´s more standard to use it at the end of a sentence,
but If I use it in the beginning, would
it be grammatically incorrect?
E.X. 'I´ll die if I do that', YOU APOLOGIZE
E.X. YOU APOLOGIZE, 'I´ll die if I do that'

Hello J.
Yes, both versions are grammatically correct; but the phrasing is a little unusual – I'm not sure I've ever heard anyone say "I'll die if I do that!".
Though you might (possibly) hear "It would kill me to do that"; or simply "that would kill me".
Is it a translation?

First of all, thanks a lot!
Yes, I am Spanish. I am afraid it´s a translation.
Well, I am trying to say 'If I do that, I´ll be dead´
Should I use your sentence then?
If I tell somebody:
Pull your heart out!
The answer from someone could be that above:
´I´ll die if I do it´, he apologized
Should I use yours?
Do you mean that thing with your sentence?
Thanks again!

Hello J.
Sorry, I'm not quite sure I've fully understood, as it's a slightly strange example!
What would the Spanish be?
All the best,
MrP
