Do you put a comma after the word also in biginning of sentence?

You generally do not put a comma after the word "also" at the beginning of a sentence.

Here's why:

* "Also" is an adverb and typically acts as an introductory word.

* Introductory words generally do not require a comma unless they create a long or complex phrase that could confuse the reader.

Example:

* Correct: Also, the weather was beautiful.

* Incorrect: Also, the weather was beautiful.

Exceptions:

* Very long introductory phrases: If the phrase following "also" is very long or complicated, you might consider a comma for clarity.

* Example: Also, after carefully considering all the options, we decided to postpone the meeting.

In summary: It's best to avoid a comma after "also" at the beginning of a sentence unless the phrase that follows is exceptionally long or complex.
