What is dangling modifier? and could you please give an example?

Question:

Answers:
A "dangling modifier" is a word or phrase that is meant to modify one thing but, due to its improper or awkward placement, modifies something else entirely:

"Being in a dilapidated condition, I was able to buy the house very cheap."

The speaker intends to state that the house was in a dilapidated condition, and he was therefore able to buy it cheap. Instead, he indicates that he was in a dilapidated condition himself, and that this condition somehow enabled him to buy the house very cheap.
