Modifiers are phrases, clauses, or even just words that add a description. In clear sentences, modifiers are next to the target words they are describing. Dangling modifiers are modifiers with no target to describe, which can confuse many readers. This resource provides instruction and practice in evaluating phrases and clauses.
