You would use commas in a list if the list contains three or more items. A comma would go between each item to separate them. In front of the last item, you should use the word "and" or "or". You can use a comma in front of "and" or "or" if wanted, but it isn't necessary.

Examples:

  • She ate soup, a sandwich, and some chips for dinner.
  • He went to the mall to buy a whole new outfit: some new shoes, a new shirt, new pants and even a new hat.
  • Every night we play a board game.  My mother, brother and two sisters always fight over what game piece they want to be.
  • I'm deciding on what to eat for lunch; I will either eat at the McDonald's down the street, make some macaroni at home, or go to the Mexican restaurant with my friends.

Which revision fixes the dangling modifier in the sentence?
natta225 [31]

The correct answer is After I took a nice hot shower, my cat lapped up the water on the floor.

Explanation:

A dangling modifier is a term used for an ambiguous grammatical construction in which one word might be incorrectly linked to a modifier (a word that modify a noun). In the example given, in the case given the relationship between nouns and verbs is not clear as it is not clear whether it was the cat who took a hot shower and then lapped up the water or there is another subject involved. However, in the sentence "After I took a nice hot shower, my cat lapped up the water on the floor" each of the actions in the sentence (took a shower and  lapped up) are linked to a subject in a clear way so there is no ambiguity in which subject carried out each action and thus the dangling modifier disappears.
