ĭo you mean the filler word? Like, OMG, you should probably avoid this unless you want to sound like a Valley Girl. Consider the famous slogan, "Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there." Added - I did a quick search and found a Grammar Girl article responding to similar questions about starting sentences with prepositions. For example, "Like my tweets, please!"ĭo you mean the preposition? Some people avoid ending a sentence with a preposition, but many sentences start with prepositions. I've never heard a rule about not starting a sentence with "like."ĭo you mean the verb? This is fine if it's a command. Your picture books can include sentences that start with coordinating conjunctions.

My suggestion is to grab a big stack of recently published picture books and read through them.
