Leaking Blue Ink Everywhere, The Teacher Threw Away The Broken Pen. Is It Dangling Or Not.
Leaking blue ink everywhere, the teacher threw away the broken pen. Is it dangling or not.
Is it dangling or not?
When the sentence isnt clear about what is being modified, a modifier is considered dangling. For example, "The big" doesnt make sense without telling what is big, which leaves "big" as a dangling modifier; but, "the big cat" is a complete phrase.
In the given example, "Leaking blue ink everywhere, the teacher threw away the broken pen", this sentence has a proper subject because it answers the question "what is the thing that is leaking". which is the "broken pen". This sentence doesnt show an example of dangling modifier.
