Dangling Describes something that isn’t even in your sentence.

For example:

Falling asleep, the car steered into the bushes.

Was the car falling asleep? NOSo, let’s correct the sentence…

Corrected sentence:

Falling asleep, Jeff steered the car into the bushes.

Falling asleep (modifier) should describe a driver NOT the car.

Misplaced Words or phrases placed in the wrong part of

the sentence. For example:

The woman was feeding the cat in blue heels. Wait a second…the cat was wearing blue heels?

Now let’s correct the sentence…
