p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; } Hello,

I would like to know if introducing a new sentence with For is something that is used in English.

For example consider the following sentence:



"For the class of 10.06 I will have to study the following chapters"


Would you consider this sentence introduction as ok?


I would like to thank you in advance for your help.


Best Regards
Alex.

Yes, it's perfectly possible to use "For" as the first word in a sentence:

For lunch tomorrow, I'm going to have vegetable soup.
For my class next week, I have to write a presentation about art.

You also gave another perfect example, by starting one of your sentences with "For example..."!!!
