When a modifier modifies a word or phrase that is not next to it, it is called a misplaced modifier. It appears to be modifying the wrong word, creating a confusing or even ridiculous sentence. For example: “Jenny saw a pink house walking down the street.” Was the house walking down the street, or was Jenny walking down the street? You can usually fix a misplaced modifier by moving it next to the word it is modifying. “Walking down the street, Jenny saw a pink house.”
