A dangling modifier is a grammatical error that occurs when a word or phrase meant to modify a noun doesn't have a clear and logical connection to the noun in the sentence. This often leads to confusion or awkwardness in the sentence. For example, "Running late, the car wouldn't start." In this sentence, "Running late" is a dangling modifier because it's unclear what was running late – the car or the person.

A dangling modifier occurs when the intended subject of the modifier is missing from the sentence, and instead another subject appears in its place. Dangling modifiers often take the form of an introductory phrase that is connected to the wrong thing.

A dangling modifier is a type of ambiguous grammatical construct whereby a grammatical modifier could be misinterpreted as being associated with a word other than the one intended. A dangling modifier has no subject and is usually a participle.
