Detailed explanation-1: -dangling participle. A writing error in which a participle phrase modifies nothing or the wrong person or object.
Detailed explanation-2: -In grammar, a dangling participle is an adjective that is unintentionally modifying the wrong noun in a sentence. An example is: “Walking through the kitchen, the smoke alarm was going off.” This sentence literally means that the smoke alarm was taking a stroll.
Detailed explanation-3: -A dangling modifier is a phrase or clause that is not clearly and logically related to the word or words it modifies (i.e. is placed next to). Two notes about dangling modifiers: Unlike a misplaced modifier, a dangling modifier cannot be corrected by simply moving it to a different place in a sentence.
Detailed explanation-4: -An example of a dangling participle would be: “Driving like a maniac, the deer was hit and killed.” This makes it seem like the unfortunate deer was driving. Correct the sentence by including the missing proper noun. “Driving like a maniac, Joe hit a deer.” The corrected sentence makes it clear that Joe was driving.
