Explanation:

A modifier is a word, phrase, or clause in a sentence that refers to or describes another word. When a reader is unsure which word a modifier is tied to, it causes confusion. A modifier must alter a word in the sentence in a comprehensible way.  

Misplaced Modifiers:

A misplaced modifier is a word or expression that is too far away from the term it modifies. The end product could be perplexing or inadvertently amusing.  

Example: The truck on the bridge which is green is mine.

Dangling Modifiers:

A dangling modifier is a term that normally appears at the start of a sentence and refers to a word that isn't actually mentioned in the sentence.

Example: Expecting confusion, our plans were made.
