Answer 1

Misplaced and Dangling Modifiers. A misplaced modifier is a word, phrase, or clause that is improperly separated from the word it modifies / describes. Because of the separation, sentences with this error often sound awkward, ridiculous, or confusing

Adjective Modifiers

Adjectives typically go before the words they are modifying, or after with helping verbs. For example:

The pretty girl
The girl was pretty.
In the first example, pretty is an adjective modifying the noun girl. In the second example, was is a helping verb and pretty is again an adjective modifying girl.
