修饰语的位置

Modifier placement

规则

A descriptive phrase at the start of a sentence must describe the noun that comes right after the comma. Otherwise it is a dangling modifier.

句首的修饰短语必须修饰逗号后紧接的名词,否则就是悬垂修饰语。

✔ 正确: Walking along the beach, Ana found a fossil.

✘ 错误: Walking along the beach, a fossil was found by Ana.

→ 改正: The person walking (Ana) must come right after the comma.

技巧: Ask "who is doing the opening action?" That noun must follow the comma.
