Modifyers
30
types of modifiers
Adjectival clause adverbial clause demonstratives possessive adjective/ determiners prepositional phrase
31
Act as verb My sister, who is an engineer, works next door.  “**who is an engineer**,” the dependent clause (one that cannot stand alone; an incomplete thought), describes (or modifies) the noun “sister.” **usually begin with a relative pronoun** (that, which, who, whom, whose) or a relative adverb (where, when, why).
Adjectival clause
32
Act as adverb Because I was so tired, I went to bed.  “Because I was so tired” describes the action of “going to bed.”  A trick: **usually answer the how, when, and why of actions.** Why did I go to bed? Because I was so tired  **usually begin with subordinating conjunctions.** **Time**: after, when, until, soon, before, **Condition:** if, whether or not, provided, in case, unless **Cause and effect**: because, as, since, so, in order that, now that, inasmuch as **Contrast:** though, although, while, whereas, even though
Adverbial clause
33
this year; these people; that car; back in those days  **point to particular nouns**.  Near or far? “**this*"” and “**these**” refer to “near” nouns; “that” and “those” refer to “far” nouns.  **Come before the noun** they modify.
Demonstrative
34
my paper; their happiness; your dog; his, her, its, our. ď‚· Usually used **in front of a noun to express possession.** ď‚· (mine, yours, his, hers, theirs, ours) are related, but they usually come after the noun they are expressing possession of. Example: The lunch is mine
Possessive determinets
35
The people in the audience roared with laughter.  “in the audience” adds further meaning to “the people.”  **often answer how or why nouns are related** to other words in the sentence. In this example, the phrase answers why “people” are roaring with laughter, because they are “in the audience,” presumably of some hilarious comedy show
Prepositional phrase
36
Common errors writers make when using modifiers.
Dangling modifier Misplaced modifier Ambiguous (squinting modifiers)
37
After watching the movie, the book still seems better.  The adverbial phrase “after watching the movie” incorrectly modifies “the book.” This doesn’t make sense since a book cannot watch a movie. The modifier is dangling because the word it is supposed to modify—the name of or pronoun for the person who watched the movie—is not there.  A correction: After watching the movie, he still thinks the book is better.
Dangling modifier
38
Joe thought about throwing a party for his dad while he walked in the park.  As it is, this sentence says that Joe thought about throwing the party while his dad walked in the park. That doesn’t make sense—his dad wouldn’t be there—and it is unclear.  The modifier “while he walked in the park” is misplaced. Is it referring to Joe or his dad?  A correction: While he walked in the park, Joe thought about throwing a party for his dad.
Misplaced modifier
39
Explaining your premises clearly enhances your argument.  In this sentence, “clearly” could modify “explaining your premises,” as in explaining them clearly, or it could modify “enhances your argument,” as in clearly enhancing it.  A correction: Explaining your premises will clearly enhance your argument.
Ambiguous (squinting modifiers)

44
describes sentence structure where the **same pattern of words** is used to show that two or more ideas have the **same level of importance.** requires sentences that contain lists, or predicates which have multiple parts, to maintain the introduced structure of the words, phrases, and clauses, without mixing them. Oftentimes, these words, phrases, or clauses are linked with coordinating conjunctions (“and,” or “or”
