Question

Can someone identify the type of modifier this is?
"As a native American who lived in a small town..."
the modifier is "As a native American" I need to know if it's misplaced or dangling.

Answer 1

Misplaced Modifier: subject comes before the word it is describing

Dangling Modifier: not stated in a complete sentence, an incomplete sentence

From these you should be able to figure out which one it is.

Answer 2

Well there is more to the sentence so is it the first one?

Answer 3

"As a Native American who lived in a small town..."
Complete or incomplete sentence?

incomplete. But there is more to the sentence. The full sentence is "As a Native American who moved from Baden, a small town in the middle of no where, to Germany, I have experienced a lot of culture shock."

Answer 5
