If you start a sentence with Myself and Robert are using correct grammar?

No, "Myself and Robert are" is not grammatically correct.

Here's why:

* "Myself" is a reflexive pronoun: It refers back to the subject of the sentence. You can only use "myself" when you've already mentioned yourself as the subject.

* "I" should be used instead: The correct way to start the sentence is "I and Robert are..."

Correct Examples:

* "I and Robert are going to the movies."

* "Robert and I are going to the movies."

* "Myself, along with Robert, are going to the movies." (This uses "myself" correctly, but it's a less common and slightly more formal construction.)

Remember, the order of "I" and "Robert" can be switched, depending on the emphasis you want to place.
