Misplaced and Dangling Modifiers
Place modifiers next to what they describe, distinguish misplaced from dangling modifiers, and revise unclear sentences so the intended meaning is logical.

Modifiers must attach clearly
A modifier is a word, phrase or clause that describes something else. If it sits in the wrong place, the sentence can say something unintended: "The waiter served pizza to the customers on paper plates" makes the customers sound as if they are on paper plates.
