For this, you can use the built-in method called startswith(). For example,

mystring = "Morning"
mystring.startswith("Morning") # This line will return true

Also you can use the re module.

import re

regex=re.compile('^Morning')
## regex=re.compile('^Good|^Morning') # used if you have multiple words

mystring="Morning, How are u?"

if re.match(regex, mystring):
    print("Yes")
