Question
- which sentence contains a dangling modifier?
while i was driving to school, the rain started pouring.
the rain started pouring while i was driving to school.
while driving to school, the rain started pouring.
i was driving to school when the rain started pouring.
A dangling modifier is a phrase or clause that modifies a word not clearly stated in the sentence. In "While driving to school, the rain started pouring," the participial phrase "While driving to school" logically should modify the subject of the main clause, but "rain" can't drive. The other sentences have clear subjects (I or the rain) that match the modifying action.
