Learning proper grammar and usage rules for the English language can be a complex and confusing task which can often end in frustration. Learning about modifiers, especially if you are out of school or struggling in school, is often a source of that frustration. In English sentences, many dangling modifiers occur at the beginning of sentences - often as introductory clauses or phrases, but can also appear at the end. A dangling modifier is a phrase or clause that modifies a word not clearly stated in the sentence, or that does not connect grammatically with what it is intended to modify. Dangling modifiers can make the meaning of the sentence unclear, so they should be avoided. In this paper, the meaning of dangling modifiers is being discussed. Besides, the researcher has presented the markers through which these/such modifiers can be recognized by learners of English. To make the presentation even more exhaustive, the researcher has offered corrections of dangling modifiers.
