Place modifiers correctly; avoid dangling or misplaced modifiers.
核心知识
A modifier belongs next to the word it describes. If the sentence opens with an action, the subject after the comma should be the doer of that action.
深入理解
Rule: Dangling modifiers create accidental nonsense. A sentence can make it sound as if orchids walked into a greenhouse or a poster ran across the room simply because the modifier is attached to the wrong noun.
- Check the first phrase and then the noun that follows it. If that noun cannot logically do the action, the modifier is misplaced.
