EAP 140 AM - WANG, Lingshan - Week 7 3/4

I reviewed something about repair misplaced and dangling modifiers today.  First one is about limiting modifiers.  It is important to put the modifiers next to the words they modify. 

e.g.

1)He only lives with his grandparents when his parents are not at home.  

Actually, the clause is modified by only, so the sentence needs to be revised as:

He lives with his grandparents only when his parents are not at home.

It is necessary to put phrases and clauses in right positions because if not, readers will be confused about the meanings.  

e.g.

2)There are many bottles of famous singers who received the awards on the table.  The singers were not received the awards on the table, so it should be changed to:

On the table are many bottles of famous singers who received the awards.

In addition, making modifiers be clear to read is important.  

e.g.

3)After experimentalizing in the labs over and over again, Madame Curie found radium eventually.  
If Madame Curie was put in front of after, the sentence would be hard to read and understand.
