Starting a sentence with especially comes with certain rules and criteria. It’s not every day that you’ll find a good reason to do so, but if you follow the rules in this article, you’ll understand how and when to use it properly at the start of a sentence.
You can use “especially” at the start of a sentence when it’s synonymous with “to a great degree,” and you’re trying to explain the cause and effect of something happening to a great degree. It’s mainly used in informal situations, as it’s not considered formally correct.
While “especially” at the start of a sentence comes with its criteria, that doesn’t mean it’s not grammatically correct. Most people won’t mind you writing “especially” to start a sentence, provided you understand what needs to come next for the sentence to make sense.
For example, the following isn’t a complete sentence and will therefore make no sense:
- Especially due to the nature of it.
We need more, and this article will explain what we’re missing!
What Does “Especially” Mean At The Beginning Of A Sentence?
At the beginning of a sentence, “especially” means “to a great degree” or “for a particular reason.” We use it when we want to show that something has a serious effect on something else, and a secondary clause must always come after it.
The definition of “especially,” according to The Cambridge Dictionary, is “very much; more than usual or more than other people or things.”
We mostly use it to start a sentence when we’re evaluating something against something else. However, to have it make sense, we must include a secondary clause because a standalone clause simply won’t work.
Examples Of How To Use “Especially” At The Beginning Of A Sentence
Some examples might help you to understand how to properly start a sentence with “especially.” Once you’ve mastered this section and understand all the examples, you’ll have a much easier time understanding “especially” rules.
- Especially since the early 1990s, the technology provided to our children has multiplied exponentially.
- Especially now that I’ve got children to look after, there are too many problems that I have to keep on top of.
- Especially because of the problems in my youth, I have a hard time approaching new people for friendship.
- Especially when I’m alone, I can hear all the traumatic experiences that happened to me during the war.
- Especially in the Middle East, people are constantly trying to flee their home countries during conflicts.
- Especially in the government, corruption levels are high, and something needs to be done to correct this.
- Especially at my children’s school, the governor has a hard time meeting up with concerned parents.
We can start a sentence with “especially” when we want to show why something happens for a particular reason. We always need a second (and sometimes third) clause to make up the full sentence; otherwise, there’s nothing to compare it to.
Where Should I Place The Comma When Using “Especially” At The Beginning Of A Sentence?
Punctuation rules surrounding comma usage with “especially” at the beginning of a sentence are tricky at first. Once you learn to punctuate it properly, you’ll be able to use it yourself whenever you need to.
You should include a comma after the clause that “especially starts.” Once you’ve finished the clause explaining what has changed, you put the comma in and then explain the reason for what has changed.
The comma never comes directly after “especially.” That’s because “especially” doesn’t work as a way to add information to the sentence without any extra steps.
We must always include another sentence to the clause to make sure it’s finished.
For example:
- Correct: Especially because of my issues, I’ve had a hard time approaching the subject.
- Incorrect: Especially, because of my issues I’ve had a hard time approaching the subject.
The comma must always come at the end of the “especially” clause, which is after “issue,” in this case.

Can You Start A Sentence With “Especially Since”?
You can start a sentence with “especially since” in the same way you can with “especially.” It means a similar thing and uses “since” to show that something has happened at a certain point in time that has led to the particular reason we’re discussing.
“Especially since” is a common way to write “especially” in any circumstances, since it uses “since” to reference a particular event that led to a new development.
For example:
- Especially since the ice age, animals are going extinct much quicker than we can stop them.
- Especially since the funeral, my mother has become more distant.
Can You Start A Sentence With “Especially Because”?
“Especially because” works similarly to “especially,” and we can start a sentence with it. This time, “because” works to include a particular reason why something happened rather than a particular event.
Usually, we’d want to write “especially because of” to make the sentence complete. Including the preposition “of” draws attention to a particular thing, which is ideal when we’re using “especially because” in this way.
For example:
- Especially because of her shortcomings, we’ve had to blacklist her and prevent her from applying again.
- Especially because of the issues raised, we’ve put new measures in place to secure the building.
Alternatives To Starting A Sentence With “Especially”
Some alternatives and synonyms for starting a sentence with “especially” might help you to broaden your writing horizons. We’ve included some of the best ones here:
- Particularly
- Due to this
- Because of this
- For this reason
- Mainly
- Mostly
- Chiefly
- Principally
- On the whole
All of these synonyms work really well to use in place of “especially.” You can start a sentence with them, and they all mean “for that reason” or “in particular.”
Can You End A Sentence With “Especially”?
You cannot end a sentence with “especially” in the same way that you can start it. It’s not possible for adverbs to end a sentence and isn’t considered grammatically correct. There are no cases where a formal native writer would include “especially” at the end of a sentence.
