Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Always correct dangling modifiers.Sometimes a modifier is not just an adjective or an adverb but an entire phrase modifying a noun or a verb.Be careful not to leave this type of modifier dangling,with no connection to the subject of the sentence.For example,"Walking to the office,a red sports car passed her." A sports car cannot walk anywhere.The modifier is referring to "her." However,the woman is not the subject of the sentence.
