The second sentence you want him to create( period or semicolon after the word website. ) starts with another conjunction.

You should also know that you are, in fact, allowed to use a coordinating conjunction to begin a sentence:

Quote:

Most likely, many people believe they should not start a sentence with a coordinating conjunction because their grammar teachers in grade school discouraged them from doing so. Yet such a rule is completely unjustifiable. When grammar teachers teach youngsters the essentials of sentence structure, they most likely explain that coordinating conjunctions are used to hold together elements within a sentence. Therefore, they may discourage students from starting sentences with coordinating conjunctions because they are trying not only to explain conjunctions but also to help their students learn to avoid sentence fragments like this one:

Teachers in grade school just discourage this because younger children tend not to use proper sentence structure when they use coordinating conjunctions like so:

Quote:

She was a nice girl. And smart, too.

However with a proper subject and predicate, you can use a coordinating conjunction as the first word of a sentence. Take this for example:

Quote:

She wanted to leave the office, drive home, and spend the evening alone in front of a fire. But she knew that duty called her to finish the project and to put her best effort into making it superb.
