Can you use seldom at the beginning of a sentence?

Yes, you can use "seldom" at the beginning of a sentence.

Here are some examples:

* Seldom do I see him in the evenings.

* Seldom have I encountered such a challenging problem.

* Seldom does she miss a chance to go for a walk.

Notice that when "seldom" starts the sentence, the verb and subject are often inverted. This is because "seldom" is an adverb that functions as a negative, and it typically modifies the verb.
