Please edit this post and add the example that you are referring to (or perhaps better: to which you are referring). - Jubilado, Dec 2, 2013

The title of the post seems to indicate that "a" appears as the first word of a sentence. I cannot think of when "a él or ella" would be used as the start of a sentence. However the personal "a" is used before a direct object of a sentence (which generally would not be in the front of the sentence) when the direct object is a person or a pet. The following link provides a concise and excellent explanation of this detail of Spanish grammar. There is no English equivalent or translation of the personal "a".
