english IV-Archimedes review on misplaced and dangling modifiers

Hi IV- Archimedes!
 This is a review on sentence reconstruction. Do answer the activities provided. The hard copies will be available tomorrow, except for the one on poetry for the copy was left in the school. I will still be posting other topics for you to review, so do spare some time to check the blog. GOD Bless us all.

Misplaced Modifiers

A Misplaced modifier is just that: a phrase, clause, or word placed too far from the noun or pronoun it describes. As a result, the sentence fails to convey your exact meaning. But misplaced modifiers usually carry a double wallop: They often create confusion or imply something unintentionally funny

Tips on Misplaced modifiers

1. Make sure the modifier has something to modify.

2. Make sure the modifier is as close as possible to the word, phrase, or clause it modifies.

3. Words like almost, even, exactly, hardly, just, merely, nearly, only, scarcely, and simply should come immediately before the word they modify

 Example 1.

Misplaced:  Abraham Lincoln wrote the Gettysburg address while traveling from Washington to Gettysburg on     

                    the back of an envelope.

Correct : While traveling from Washington to Gettysburg, Abraham Lincoln wrote the Gettysburg address on

               the back of an envelope.

Example 2

Misplaced: Mrs. Jones was proud that on her first hunting trip, she was able to shoot several animals as well as

             her husband.

Correct; Mrs. Jones, as well as her husband, was proud that on her first hunting trip, she was able to shoot

            several animals.

Activity: Rewrite the following sentences correcting the misplaced modifiers.

1.      The young girl was walking the dog in a short skirt.

2.      The hunter crouched behind a tree waiting for a bear to come along with a bow and arrow.

3.      We saw dinosaurs on a field trip to the natural history museum.

4.      The guest speaker had dedicated his new book to his dog who was an archaeologist

5.      The library has several books about dinosaurs in our school.

6.      A tarantula bit one of the dockworkers that had a hairy, huge body.

7.      I glimpsed a rat sorting the recyclable materials.

8.      She handed out brownies to the children stored in tupperware.

9.      I smelled the oysters coming down the stairs for dinner.

10.  I brushed my teeth after eating with Smile Toothpaste.

11.  With his tail held high, my father led his prize poodle around the arena.

12.  I saw the dead dog driving down the intersection.

13.  The girl was consoled by the nurse who had just taken an overdose of sleeping pills.

14.  He wore a straw hat on his head, which was obviously too small.

15.  The burglar was about 30 years old, white, 5′ 10″, with wavy hair weighing about 150 pounds.

Dangling Modifiers

A dangling modifier is a modifier that does not relate sensibly to any word in the sentence. A modifier that begins a sentence must be followed immediately by the word it is meant to describe. Otherwise, the sentence takes on an unintended meaning.

Tips for Spotting Dangling Modifiers

1.      Dangling modifiers almost always include action verbs.

2.      Not all dangling modifiers occur at the beginnings of sentences, but many of them do.

Checking for Dangling Modifiers

1.      Make sure the modifier has something to modify.

2.      Make sure the modifier is as close as possible to the word, phrase, or clause it modifies.

3.      If the modifier has nothing to modify, add or change words so that it does.

Example 1:

Dangling : While walking home, a car honked at me.

Correct: While I was walking home, a car honked at me.

Example 2:

Dangling: Although nearly finished, we left the play early because we were worried about our class report.

Correct: Although the play was nearly finished, we left early because we were worried about our class report.

Example 3:

Dangling ; Raised in the farm, it is natural to miss the balmy fragrance of fresh vegetables and fruits.

Correct: Raised in the farm, I naturally miss the balmy fragrance of fresh vegetables and fruits.

Rewrite the following to correct all dangling modifiers.            1.      Coming out of the market, the bananas fell on the pavement. Holding a bag of groceries, the roach flew out of the cabinet. Emitting thick black smoke from the midsection, I realized something was wrong.   Playing pool in the living room, the radio was turned on by Jim. Frustrated by diagonal movement, the set was turned off.               6.      After drinking too much, the toilet kept moving. 7.      While reading the newspaper, the cat jumped on the table. 8.      While doing the dishes, a mouse ran across the floor.             9.      Laughing loudly, the joke pleased the audience            10.  Standing on the balcony, the ocean looked so beautiful.             11.  Looking out the airplane window, the volcano seemed ready to erupt.            12.  Flying over the African landscape, the elephant herd looked majestic.            13.  Cart wheeling head over foot, the spectators gasped at the acrobatic spectacle.            14.  Strolling hand in hand to the farm, the young bulls broke out of the field and headed toward us.            15.  While singing hymns, the family dog ran through the church surprising his owners.
