Writing Topic:Chapter 12 Repair misplaced dangling modifiers.

Modifiers no matter if single words, phrases, or clauses should point clearly to words that they modify. It is important for a sentence to be clear to a reader that there are certain steps that should be taken. One using limited modifiers such as-only, even, almost, nearly, and just appear in front of a verb. Put the limiting modifier in front of the word that it modifies. Even though phrases and clauses can appear I different parts of a sentence it is a good idea that when a reader is reading they know what is being modified.

There are certain things that you can do to prevent awkwardly placed modifiers. Makes sure that sentence go from subject to verb to object, keeping the verb and the object together prevents an awkwardly placed modifier. Next do not split to and a verb to avoid another awkward sentence structure. Repair any dangling modifiers. If you put a modifier in the wrong place it may suggest something other than what you have intended. If you do all these steps you will have put together a clear sentence that will aid the readers to understand what you are trying to tell them.

I have chosen this chapter because I realized that I needed the help to keep my sentence clear. I have to realize that each sentence must be able to stand on its own. Having to keep in mind subject, verb and object will aid me in my future writings. I have realized in past writing that I us dangling modifiers and changed what I was trying to say.  Writing this way only confuses the reader and I then loss what I was trying to say. Now after I have read this I hope to be able to write more clearly.
