Dangling Modifiers
Modifiers are word or word groups that define or described other words. Since they cannot stand by themselves, they rely, for meaning, on the words they modify.
When modifiers do not logically define or describe anything in a sentence, or when they are unrelated to any word in a sentence, they are called dangling modifiers.
To avoid dangling modifiers you should see to it that your modifiers properly modify the words next to them.
