Sentence Construction And Errors Questions Medium
A dangling modifier is a type of sentence construction error where a modifier (usually an adjective or adverb) is placed in a sentence without a clear or logical connection to the word it is intended to modify. As a result, the modifier "dangles" or hangs loosely in the sentence, leading to confusion or ambiguity in the meaning. This error occurs when the subject of the modifier is missing or unclear, making it difficult for the reader to understand the intended message. To correct a dangling modifier, it is necessary to rephrase the sentence to ensure that the modifier is properly attached to the word it is intended to modify.
