Yong? At the start of a sentence?

Is there any Mandarin construction where a sentence starts with Yong?

My husband sent me this. I can’t understand what the Yong at the start has as its purpose

If the word 用 is used at the beginning of the sentence, it can be translated into “using…”. Just like the structure in English. E.g. Using duolingo to learn language is useful.

Thanks very much. That makes sense. I think it confused me because we didn’t understand the Cantonese word order properly
