Asking the student questions to spot the mistakes in the sentences causes learning to take place at a deeper and foundational level by creating space for one's own realisation. Thank you!
I really loved your Better essay writing videos. If you make videos about Toefl, Toeic essay writings. I bet you will have more than 100k subscribers in 6 months.
Second, I have some inquiries about the classification essay. Indeed, I have no idea how to write it😅 . I would be so glad and grateful to you if you give us the instructions in how to write such thing with examples. Your Sincerely A.G
A modifier is a word or phrase, such as adjectives and adverbs, that describes another word or phrase and makes it more specific. Usually, you will find a modifier next to the word or phrase it describes. The big cat (big is the modifier, it modifies/describes cat) The cat quickly ran away. (quickly is the modifier, it modifies/describes how the cat ran) I hope this helps.
The teacher from France gave us a very difficult exam. (the teacher is from France) The teacher gave us a very different exam from France. (the exam is from France) From France, the teacher gave us a very difficult exam. (the teacher is in France) You can see that if you move the modifier words to different parts of the sentence it changes the meaning. The modifier gives more information about the word or phrase that it is describing.
Sam was late. That sentence is clear to me. Because, Who did the teacher give a warning to ?. The teacher gave a warning to Sam. - because he (Sam) was late.
Both are modifiers that are connected to the wrong thing in a sentence. A misplaced modifier is too far away from the thing it's supposed to modify, while a dangling modifier's intended subject is missing from the sentence altogether. Look for the word/subject that it should modify, and see if it is in the wrong place or if there is nothing that it is modifying in the sentence.
In my opinion every taught should be started with definition, and you did it, any ways, thanks a lot for this video.

How do you know where is the modifier
A modifier is a word or phrase, such as adjectives and adverbs, that describes another word or phrase and makes it more specific. Usually, you will find a modifier next to the word or phrase it describes.
The big cat (big is the modifier, it modifies/describes cat)
The cat quickly ran away. (quickly is the modifier, it modifies/describes how the cat ran)
I hope this helps.
But can you like show where is the modifier in a 6 or 10 letter sentence
The teacher from France gave us a very difficult exam. (the teacher is from France)
The teacher gave us a very different exam from France. (the exam is from France)
From France, the teacher gave us a very difficult exam. (the teacher is in France)
You can see that if you move the modifier words to different parts of the sentence it changes the meaning. The modifier gives more information about the word or phrase that it is describing.
Sam was late.
That sentence is clear to me.
Because,
Who did the teacher give a warning to ?.
The teacher gave a warning to Sam.
- because he (Sam) was late.
Yes, I agree with you. However, the sentence would be clearer if it was written this way.
“Because Sam was late, the teacher gave him a warning. “
Thanks madam
You’re welcome! 😊
Very understandable 🎉🎉🎉🎉...

I’m glad to hear that you found it helpful.
how do i differentiate between the two of them. i have an exam tomorrow and i dont know how to know whether a sentence is dangling or misplaced.
Both are modifiers that are connected to the wrong thing in a sentence. A misplaced modifier is too far away from the thing it's supposed to modify, while a dangling modifier's intended subject is missing from the sentence altogether. Look for the word/subject that it should modify, and see if it is in the wrong place or if there is nothing that it is modifying in the sentence.
