A dangling modifier is a type of grammatical error that occurs when 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, creating confusion or ambiguity for the reader. This error often occurs when the subject of the main clause is not explicitly stated or when there is a lack of clarity in the sentence structure. 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.
