PENJELASAN
Modifier adalah kata atau frasa yang memodifikasi atau memberi penjelasan lebih akan suatu kata, frasa, ataupun klausa.
Dalam grammar, modifier dapat berupa adjective atau adverb.
Suatu modifier harus diletakkan sedekat mungkin dengan kata atau frasa yang dijelaskannya agar tidak menimbulkan kerancuan makna.
Contoh:
The car is parked in front of the house that is blue.
that is blue adalah modifier yang menjelaskan the house.
The car that is blue is parked in front of the house.
that is blue adalah modifier yang menjelaskan the car.
Sebuah modifier disebut dangling (menggantung) jika tidaklah jelas apa yang dimodifikasi oleh modifier tersebut.
Contoh:
The expensive →dangling modifier karena tidak jelas apa yang expensive.
The expensive car → bukan dangling modifier karena jelas yang expensive adalah car.
