Provide examples of sentences with dangling participles.

Sure! Here are some examples of sentences with dangling participles:

1. Walking down the street, the trees appeared beautiful.
2. After being cooked for hours, the steak tasted delicious.
3. Running through the park, my phone fell out of my pocket.
4. Having finished my homework, the television was turned on.
5. Hoping to catch the bus, the rain started pouring heavily.

In these sentences, the participial phrases (e.g., walking down the street, being cooked for hours, running through the park) are not clearly connected to the subjects of the sentences (e.g., the trees, the steak, my phone). This creates confusion and ambiguity in the meaning of the sentences. To correct these sentences, we need to rephrase them to ensure that the participial phrases are properly connected to the intended subjects.
