M Or C?

Worksheet Description

The worksheet titled “Misplaced Modifiers” is a diagnostic tool that asks students to determine whether the modifiers in given sentences are correctly placed (C) or misplaced (M). The sentences provided vary in complexity and contain potential errors in the positioning of words that are intended to describe or qualify other parts of the sentence. Students must assess each sentence and decide if the modifier’s placement accurately conveys the intended meaning or if it needs adjustment.

The worksheet is designed to educate students on the concept of modifiers in sentence structure and their correct placement to avoid ambiguity. It teaches students to critically analyze sentences for clarity and precision. By identifying misplaced modifiers, students learn how word order impacts the meaning of a sentence. This practice is crucial for developing their editing skills and improving their overall writing proficiency.
