- ...and then I arrived home and fell onto the couch covered in sweat.
- Was the couch covered in sweat?
- No!
- Then that sentence is an example of a misplaced modifier.
- What does that mean?
- There are also dangling modifiers. " A dangling modifier is a word or phrase that modifies a word not clearly stated in the sentence. "
- "A misplaced modifier is a word, phrase, or clause that is improperly separated from the word it modifies / describes"
- OHHHH I GET IT!
- EXACTLY!
- So the correct way to say that sentence is: covered in sweat, I arrived home and fell onto the couch.
- I agree and you're welcome!
- It's starting to get late now, maybe we should head home. Thanks for teaching me about misplaced and dangling modifiers!
