English

To remove a dangling modifier, we have to change the sentence in order to make it clear to whom or what the modifier refers, as seen below.

  1. While I was driving to work, a car accident cause a traffic backup on the interstate.
  2. Since Emily was wishing for a new pair of shoes, she was unimpressed with the gift.

<h3>What is a dangling modifier?</h3>

A dangling modifier is simply a word or phrase that is supposed to modify another word in a sentence, but whose meaning is unclear. Dangling modifiers are usually a result of a missing subject. Take a look below:

  • Wishing for a nice dinner, Helen told her sister they should go out. --> Who is wishing for a nice dinner? Helen or her sister? This is a dangling modifier.

In the answers we provided above, the dangling modifiers "while driving to work" and "wishing for a new pair of shoes" have been changed. Notice that we added subjects to make it clear that they refer to "me" and to "Emily," respectively.
