Question

Decide weather the sentence below contains a misplaced and\or dangaling modifier or no error We saw three fires flying over the forest.

Answer 1

A misplaced modifier is a word, phrase, or clause that has landed in the wrong place in the sentence. A modifier must be placed next to the word it modifies. When the modifier is incorrectly placed, the sentence either communicates meaning the writer did not intend--or makes no sense at all!
