In simple terms what does a "misplaced modifier" and a "dangling modifier" mean?

Could you give me an example?

Please and thank you.

Answer:

A misplaced modifier is a phrase, term, or clause that is separated from the word it describes which will most likely create confusion and vagueness.

Example: "She carries a green banana cart." If you read it, it sounds like the bananas are green, thus meaning that the word green is the misplaced modifier.

A dangling modifier is any modifying term or phrase that isn't close sufficiently to the thing it's modifying.

Example: "Having finished the task, Devika laid back to rest". 'Having finished' states an action but does not name the kind of action.

You're welcome.

It was a peaceful Friday evening. Hara's best friend Victoria came to Hara's house at 7 pm. We were playing, but the leaves were slowly falling, the sun was setting, and we quietly began to hear the wind. Hara and Victoria were sitting near the fireplace, reading a book. Hara and Victoria were just about to finish the second and last page of the book when they suddenly heard a noise. Suddenly, the light went off and on, and then I got goosebumps all over my body. It sounded like crackle electricity, and it turned off before we could even guess what it was. Ceiling lights, air conditioning, and TV. His fireplace was Electric, so it went out too. It was pitch-black darkness everywhere. On a dark autumn night, the electricity in my house just went out...

From yon far country blows:
