DANGLING & MISPLACED MODIFIERS
In today's lesson, Kevin teaches you how to identify and correct dangling and misplaced modifiers.
NOTE: Many of the examples in the lesson are incorrectly identified; virtually all of them are "misplaced" modifiers because the correct subjects *are* there--they're just not in the right form or place. (A "dangling" modifier occurs when the intended subject is not present in the sentence, and a "misplaced" modifier occurs when the subject *is* in the sentence but the modifier is in the wrong spot. Don't confuse yourself over it, though--the concept is the exact same for both: Try to make your sentences as clear as possible.)
-- FREE PRACTICE BELOW --
DIRECTIONS: Read each sentence below. If the sentence contains no modifier errors, write “CORRECT.” If the sentence contains a dangling or misplaced modifier, write “INCORRECT,” and then rewrite the sentence so that it contains no modifier errors.
1. After finishing her homework, Jill turned on the TV.
2. Looking for a good movie, The Mummy was selected.
3. We watched a movie on the plane about dolphins.
4. Hungry, the leftover pizza was eaten.
5. To improve my score, I took the test a second time.
6. With a sigh, the presents were returned to the store.
7. I caught the thief in my pajamas.
8. Arriving early, good seats were found.
9. Running for the bus, the ice made me slip.
10. She bought a pony named Herbert for her brother.
