A modifier is a word or group of words that describe a noun or pronoun. In sentences with a dangling modifier, it is unclear what the modifier is describing. Each sentence contains a dangling modifier. Rewrite it to make clear what the modifier is describing.

EXAMPLE: While walking to school, a barking dog chased after me. Rewritten would be: While I was walking to school, a barking dog chased after me.

Rewrite to make clear what the modifier is describing: Though he was not very athletic, Darren taught Micah to play football. ​

Answer:

Though Darren was not very athletic, Darren taught Micah to play football

Step-by-step explanation:

Though he was not very athletic, Darren taught Micah to play football.

In this sentence, the modifier “Though he was not very athletic” has the pronoun “he".

However, we don’t know who “he” is substituting for so we need to change the “he” into Darren.
