Yes, but there's no point in taking the inactive pill, as it has no medication. The effect is no different from taking an active pill and an M&M.

Can you take your inactive pills before the active pills are finished in your pack?
I'm not sure why you would want to do this. But to be protected from pregnancy you need to take all the active pills as directed - then take the inactive pills or toss them out, the only purpose they serve is to remind you to take a pill everyday and when to start your next packet of active pills.

Started first pack of triquillar 28 and assumed first 7 pills are inactive so started with 8th pill but actually last 7 are inactive pls advise?
If you are still using the first packet, continue taking the pills. Pills 1 - 21 are all the same and it won't change the effectiveness for you to take them out of order. They are distributed in daily doses only to make it easy to see if a pill has been accidentally forgotten. The inactive pills contain no medication, they are simply a reminder to keep you on track by taking a pill everyday, if you forget to take one of the inactive pills - no worry's. Just start a new packet 7 days after taking the last active pill.
When taking birth control if you miss an active pill the day before you start your inactive pills and dont remember you didnt take the active pill and you get your period a day early now what?
