Dangling misplaced modifiers
This document discusses dangling and misplaced modifiers. It defines modifiers as words that identify or describe another word, usually a noun. Dangling modifiers occur when the word being modified is not present in the sentence. Misplaced modifiers appear to modify the wrong word because they are placed too far from the word they are intended to modify. The document provides examples of dangling and misplaced modifiers and how to correct them by moving the modifier closer to the word it modifies or adding the missing subject. It emphasizes that modifiers should be placed directly before or after the word they describe to avoid confusion. Practice exercises are assigned to reinforce these concepts.
Dangling modifiers
The document discusses misplaced and dangling modifiers and provides examples and corrections. It explains that a misplaced modifier is separated from the word it intends to describe, while a dangling modifier starts a sentence without being followed by the word it describes. Examples are given of misplaced and dangling modifiers and how to identify and fix them by placing the modifier closer to what it describes or adding context to clarify the intended meaning. Strategies for avoiding ambiguous meanings caused by modifiers include paying attention to placement of words like adverbs, prepositions, and verbals.
Misplaced and dangling modifiers
This document discusses misplaced and dangling modifiers. It defines misplaced modifiers as words or phrases that incorrectly modify the wrong word or words in a sentence. Dangling modifiers are described as modifying words or phrases where the intended subject they describe is missing from the sentence. Examples are given of misplaced and dangling modifiers and how to correctly structure sentences to avoid these errors. Four common types of misplaced modifiers are also listed.
Modifiers
Modifiers are words, phrases, or clauses that provide descriptive details about other parts of speech or sentence elements. The main types are adjectives and adverbs. Adjectives describe nouns and pronouns, answering questions like "what kind". Adverbs describe verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs, answering questions like "how". It is important to correctly identify a modifier as an adjective or adverb based on what word it is modifying.
Affixes
This document discusses prefixes and suffixes. It provides lists of common prefixes and suffixes used in English, along with their meanings and examples. Prefixes are added to the beginning of words to modify their meaning, while suffixes are added to the end. Some examples provided are the prefix "pre-" meaning before, and the suffix "-ly" used to form adverbs.
Adverbs and its kind
Kenny thinks he is really cool. He modifies the verb "is" with the adverb "really" to emphasize how cool he thinks he is.
Hyphens
The document discusses the use of hyphens in English to join words and avoid confusion. It outlines seven main functions of hyphens: 1) in compound numbers and fractions, 2) with compound nouns, 3) with coequal nouns, 4) with compound modifiers, 5) in phrases used as modifiers, 6) with prefixes and suffixes, and 7) to avoid awkward letter combinations that could cause confusion. Hyphen guidelines are provided for each function, such as using hyphens for compound numbers like twenty-one and compound modifiers preceding nouns like middle-class family.
Participle
The document summarizes the use of present and past participles in English grammar. It discusses:
1) Present participles are formed by adding "-ing" to verbs and can function either as part of verbs when used with forms of "to be", or as adjectives when not used with "to be".
2) Past participles are formed by adding "-ed" to verbs and can function either as part of verbs when used with forms of "to be" or "have", or as adjectives when not used with those verbs.
3) Examples are provided to illustrate the different uses of present and past participles as parts of verbs or as adjectives in sentences. PowerPoint

Dangling modifiers
The document discusses dangling modifiers, which occur when a word or phrase that is intended to modify something is separated from the thing it is intended to modify, making it unclear what is being modified. This can happen when a participial phrase or clause at the beginning of a sentence does not clearly refer to the subject of the main clause. Some examples are provided and strategies discussed for revising sentences with dangling modifiers, such as naming the appropriate doer of the action as the subject or combining the modifier into the main clause.
Types of Verbs
There are three types of verbs: action verbs, linking verbs, and helping verbs. Action verbs show physical action and movement, such as run, hide, and walk. Linking verbs connect or link the subject to a noun or adjective in the predicate, such as is, are, and been. Helping verbs help the main verb express tense and voice and need an action verb, such as will, should, and have.
Independent and Dependent Clause
This document defines and provides examples of clauses, specifically independent clauses and dependent clauses:
- An independent clause can stand alone as a complete thought, while a dependent clause cannot due to needing an independent clause to complete its meaning.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
