Modifiers are adjectives, adverbs and phrases that modify(give more detail to) a sentence.
The important thing to remember about beginning a sentence with one, is to make sure you don't leave the modifier dangling. Modifiers are meant to be associated with the noun they describe; a misplaced modifier can change the entire meaning of the sentence.
An example of doing it wrong:

- Storm-tossed waves made Surfing difficult.
