Misplaced Modifiers:
* "I saw a dog walking down the street with a long, bushy tail." (Is the street walking down the street, or the dog?)
* "He ate the sandwich sitting on the park bench." (Was the sandwich sitting on the bench, or was he?)
* "I bought a new car with a sunroof for a great price." (Did you buy the sunroof for a great price, or the car?)
Dangling Modifiers:
* "Walking down the street, the house was beautiful." (Who is walking down the street? The house can't walk!)
* "While waiting for the bus, a car nearly hit me." (Was the car waiting for the bus?)
* "To get a good grade, studying is important." (It's not the studying that gets the grade, it's the person who studies.)
Here's how to fix these sentences:
* Misplaced Modifiers: Move the modifier closer to the word it modifies.
* "I saw a dog with a long, bushy tail walking down the street."
* "Sitting on the park bench, he ate the sandwich."
* "I bought a new car with a sunroof for a great price."
* Dangling Modifiers: Add a subject or phrase to clarify who or what is performing the action.
* "As I walked down the street, I saw a beautiful house."
* "While I was waiting for the bus, a car nearly hit me."
* "To get a good grade, it is important to study."
Remember: Modifiers need to be placed close to the words they modify, and they should clearly refer to the subject of the sentence.
