Misplaced and dangling modifiers?
A misplaced or dangling modifier, is an error in sentence structure when a grammatical modifier is associated with a word other than the one intended, or with no particular word at all. For example, a writer may have meant to modify the subject, but word order makes the modifier seem to modify an object instead. Such ambiguities can lead to unintentional humor or difficulty in understanding a sentence. A typical example of a dangling modifier is the sentence, "Turning the corner, a handsome school building appeared". The modifying clause Turning the corner is clearly supposed to describe the behavior of the narrator (or other observer), but grammatically it appears to apply to nothing in particular, or to the school building. Similarly, in the sentence , "At the age of eight, my family finally bought a dog", the modifier 'At the age of eight' "dangles" in mid-air, attaching to no named person or thing.
