The dangling modifier has it way it is not like a misplaced modifier, a dangling modifier can not be corrected by simply moving it to a different place in a sentence.

Shifts

      Shifts are more default and confusing more than I thought  because there are so many of them. First, shifts in ganeral are confusing change in person, verb tense, voice, mood, or number. Secondly,  shifts in person are three forms I and we, you and they, and he and she.  Thirdly, shifts in verb tense are shifts in times, from present to past and from past to future tense. Fourthly, shifts in voice it is to be in active voice when the subject performs the action is emphasized.

Who and Whom

         Who and Whom were very easy grammar quiz to do. It may look a little bit confusing, but when you use to it going to be easy to you. First, you have to know the deferent between who and whom. Who is an interrogative pronoun and is used in place of the subject of a question. Also who can be used in statements, in place of the subject of a clause. Whom is also an interrogative pronoun, but it is used in place of the object of a question.  After a preposition always use whom it is always the correct choice .
