Can I start a sentence using being?

Question

for example, Being the reduction in minimum total principal stress the most important stress change from a Health and Safety Executive (HSE) point of view, maps were made of the change in minimum total principal stress from start of production in October 2000 till November 2007.

Answer 1

Being is what I like most "to be or not to be" is not even a question.Yes.

Answer 2

Yes you can start a sentence with 'being.' However, your sentence is a run-on sentence. I would end the sentence after the words point of view. Start a second sentence Maps were made.....

Answer 3

Yes. The rest of the sentence however is bordering on rambling. I would clean up the rest of the sentence to make it a little easier to understand.



Hope this helps! (:
