Friday Round-Up - #161


Laurel, over at Laurel's Leaves, defines and demystifies misplaced modifiers. Now, there's a mouthful! I always learn a lot from her. Do you struggle with this grammar pitfall?

Have a great weekend.

    Hi Marja -

    If those of us struggle when English is our native language, I can only imagine how difficult it must be for you. :)

    I'll pop by your blog.

    Blessings,
    Susan

    Hi, Susan! I have few items in grammar that trip me up, but I must say, I'm pretty proud of my handle of gramatical issues. BUT, I promise I have plenty of other pitfalls!!

    Laurel is awesome. The misplaced modifier creeps into my writing.

    My time teaching high school and college composition forced me to master grammar. The misplaced modifier is a big problem! Laurel is good with explaining points like this.

    Hi Rosslyn -

    I guess you'd need to be skilled in this area if you're teaching it. Those misplaced modifiers are tricky dudes.

    Blessings,
    Susan :)
