Can you start a sentence with a preposition like at?
You can only start a sentence with "At" as a preposition if you have something to make an independent clause. For instance, you can't just say "At the store," that's a sentence fragment. It would have to be, "At the store, I need to buy some things."
Can you say homeworks or is it always singular?
"Homework" is always singular, so you would say, "Brian and Emily have finished their homework." If you want a plural to refer to homework from different classes, you can say "homework assignments."

Does however have a comma before it?
When "however" does not begin a sentence, can have a comma or a semicolon before it, depending on how the sentence is constructed. If "however" introduces an independent clause (that is, one that can stand alone as a sentence), it should have a semicolon before it.
Examples:
- Corrugated cardboard, however, should be put in the special cardboard-only recycling container.
- Clean corrugated cardboard should be recycled; however, greasy pizza boxes should be put in the trash.
- Let me know your decision, however you choose to proceed.
Where did the comma come from?
The comma is relatively new to the punctuation family (couple hundred years old), so let's go back even farther than that. Jim has a farm and he wants to tell someone he owns this farm, so he's going to say "Jim's farm", right? Wrong. There was no such thing as ('s) to show possession. He would have to say "Jim his farm" to show possession. Fast-forward a couple hundred years and people start to say that doesn't make since, so they changed "Jim his farm" to "Jim's farm" replacing the (hi) in his with a comma. Thus the comma was created.
The funny thing about this is that women did not own anything back in the days, so you would never say "Jenny her farm" and therefore ('r) was never created. Think about it further and when someone shows possession for a female (jenny's farm) they're actually saying (Jenny his farm) replacing the (hi) in his with a comma.
If we wanted to be politically correct it should be:
Jenny'r farm
And
Jim's farm

A synonym for also is "moreover".
