What Is a Dangling Modifier?

"A dangling modifier is a word or phrase that modifies the wrong thing because the intended subject is missing from the sentence."  A modifier changes, alters, limits, or adds more information about something else in the sentence.

For example, "The big" doesn't make sense without telling what is big, which leaves "big" as a dangling modifier. However, "the big dog" is a complete phrase. Adjectives and adjective phrases can become dangling modifiers when they don't have anything to modify.
