misplaced & dangling modifiers

Text z Príbehu

  •  After running away, I saw my dog in the street on the way to the coffee shop!
  • Why were you running away?
  • Well I wasn't the one who ran away, my dog did!
  • Your dog was on its way to the coffee shop? Why would your dog go to the coffee shop?
  • I was the one going to the coffee shop, then I saw my dog, who ran away earlier.
  • Right, I couldn't understand you because there was a misplaced and a dangling modifier in your sentence, which made it sound incorrect.
  • What is a misplaced and dangling modifier?
  • However, a dangling modifier's intended subject is missing from the sentence.
  • A misplaced modifier is a modifier that is positioned too far away from the word it modifies.
  • In this sentence, it looks like while you were running away, you saw your dog on its way to the coffee shop. Which is incorrect.
  • So I should have said "On the way to the coffee shop, I saw my dog on the street before running away."
  • Thank you for teaching me about misplaced and dangling modifiers!
  • No problem! Now you know how to say your sentences the correct way.
