Is it better to use AND or &?

In citations when the source has more than one author, use an ampersand to connect the last two (Smith, Greene & Jones, 2008).

Which will VS that will?

In a defining clause, use that. In non-defining clauses, use which. Remember, which is as disposable as a sandwich bag. If you can remove the clause without destroying the meaning of the sentence, the clause is nonessential and you can use which.

What is the difference between AS and because?

As is used to mean because, but it is also used when two events happen at the same time. In “I must stop now as I have to go out.” it means because, but in “She watched him as the train passed close to his house.” it doesn’t mean because. As for the sentences you used as examples, both are correct.

Can we start the sentence with or?

While or can be used at the start of a sentence — like all conjunctions — it is, admittedly, a little harder to use than most. Unless emphasising something to the reader, it’s still a good idea to avoid starting a sentence with or just in case you get those awkward sentence fragments.

Is because I said so a valid reason?

“Because I said so” is actually an appropriate phrase here. The key is to say it calmly after you’ve given a direction clearly and explained your reason once. After it’s said, just go do something else. Don’t allow yourself to be pulled into an argument with your child.

Can I start a question with or?

Starting a sentence with or is very informal and not something you should do in an essay or a professional context. The latter is a good example of something you would say, but not write. That being said, it is also a rule that is commonly broken and therefore accepted to be correct as well. So, both are good!
