Describe what a dangling modifier is.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>model
A dangling modifier is a word or phrase that is improperly positioned in a sentence, creating confusion about what it modifies.
An example of a dangling modifier appears in the sentence "Turning the corner, a handsome school building appeared". The modifying clause "Turning the corner" describes the behaviour of the narrator, but the narrator is only implicit in the sentence. The sentence could be misread as the turning action attaching either to the handsome school building or to nothing at all. As another example, in the sentence "At the age of eight, my family finally bought a dog", the modifier "At the age of eight" is dangling. It is intended to specify the narrator's age when the family bought the dog, but the narrator is again only implicitly a part of the sentence. It could be read as the family was eight years old when it bought the dog, or even that the dog was eight when it was bought.<end_of_turn><eos>
