A misplaced modifier makes the meaning of a sentence ambiguous or wrong. Look at this example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul>\n<li>Jack, coax the monkey\u00a0<span class=\"highlight\">with the banana<\/span>.\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.grammar-monster.com\/images\/cross.png\" \/><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>(The shaded text is a misplaced modifier. It is meant to be an adverbial phrase modifying the verb &#8220;coax.&#8221; It is supposed to tell Jack<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>how<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul>\u00a0to coax the monkey. However, the shaded text could feasibly be an adjective phrase<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul>\u00a0describing the monkey, telling Jack which monkey to coax.)<\/p>\n<li>Jack, use the banana to coax the monkey.\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.grammar-monster.com\/images\/tick.png\" \/><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>(Often, rewording is best. This corrected example does not feature an adverbial phrase.)<\/p>\n<p>Here is an example from the film &#8220;Hot Fuzz&#8221;:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;He was a hero at his last police station. He once shot a robber\u00a0<span class=\"highlight\">with a Kalashnikov<\/span>.&#8221;\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul>&#8220;Great, where did he get that?&#8221;<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8220;No, the robber had the Kalashnikov.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul>(The shaded text is a misplaced modifier. It is meant to be an adjective phrase<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\u00a0describing the robber. However, it was taken to be an adverbial phrase modifying the verb &#8220;shot.&#8221;)<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Use commas correctly with your adverbial clauses.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>When your adverbial phrase (or clause for that matter) is at the front of your sentence, it is known as a &#8220;fronted adverbial.&#8221; A fronted adverbial is usually offset with a comma. For example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span class=\"highlight\">At 4 o&#8217;clock<\/span>, open the gates.\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.grammar-monster.com\/images\/tick.png\" \/><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"highlight\">In the middle of New York<\/span>, temperatures reached 106 degrees Fahrenheit.\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.grammar-monster.com\/images\/tick.png\" \/><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When your adverbial phrase is at the back, the tendency is to omit the comma. For example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Open the gates\u00a0<span class=\"highlight\">at 4 o&#8217;clock<\/span>.\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.grammar-monster.com\/images\/tick.png\" \/><\/li>\n<li>Temperatures reached 106 degrees Fahrenheit\u00a0<span class=\"highlight\">in the middle of New York<\/span>.\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.grammar-monster.com\/images\/tick.png\" \/><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here are examples with adverbial phrases at both ends:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span class=\"highlight\">In July 1936<\/span>, temperatures reached 106 degrees Fahrenheit\u00a0<span class=\"highlight\">in the middle of New York<\/span>.\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.grammar-monster.com\/images\/tick.png\" \/><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"highlight\">In the middle of New York<\/span>, temperatures reached 106 degrees Fahrenheit\u00a0<span class=\"highlight\">in July 1936<\/span>.\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.grammar-monster.com\/images\/tick.png\" \/><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Save two words by writing &#8220;to&#8221; instead of &#8220;in order to.&#8221;<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>To reduce your word count, you can usually replace &#8220;in order to&#8221; with &#8220;to&#8221; without any loss of meaning.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The mountaineers spent two months with the air-sea rescue team\u00a0<span class=\"highlight\"><span style=\"text-decoration: line-through\">in order<\/span>\u00a0to gain experience<\/span>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Even though it adds to your word count, you should not delete &#8220;in order&#8221; every time. Using &#8220;in order to&#8221; makes it clear that the text that follows is the reason for performing the action. (It&#8217;s like using &#8220;so as to.&#8221;) Using just &#8220;to&#8221; runs the risk of creating a misplaced modifier. Look at this example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul>\n<li>Jack designed a device\u00a0<span class=\"highlight\"><span style=\"text-decoration: line-through\">in order<\/span>\u00a0to find underground water<\/span>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>(With &#8220;in order&#8221; deleted, we&#8217;re now unsure whether Jack designed an underground-water finder (i.e., &#8220;to find underground water&#8221; is an adjective describing &#8220;device&#8221;) or whether he designed a device that can be used to detect underground water as per his intention (i.e., &#8220;to find underground water&#8221; is an adverb modifying &#8220;designed&#8221;). With &#8220;in order to,&#8221; that ambiguity disappears. It can only be the latter. Get it?)<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s another advantage to using &#8220;in order to.&#8221; It puts a little more emphasis on the reason for the action. So, save two words if you need to, but be careful not to create a misplaced modifier.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Delete your intensifier, unless you really need it.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>When writing formally, the level of intensity should be achieved through\u00a0word choice\u00a0(e.g., by using strong adjectives instead of intensifiers). Using intensifiers is widely considered as lazy writing.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul>\n<li>She was\u00a0<span class=\"highlight\">very angry<\/span>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>(This is considered as lazy writing.)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul>\n<li>She was livid.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>(There is no need for an intensifier with a strong adjective like &#8220;livid.&#8221;)<\/p>\n<p>This quotation captures why you should use intensifiers sparingly.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If everything is very important, then nothing is important. (Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Important_points\"><\/span><strong>Important points<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><strong><span class=\"tadv-background-color\">1. Punctuate adverb phrases correctly.<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you start a sentence with an adverb phrase, offset it using a\u00a0comma\u00a0after it. But when it comes at the end of a sentence, don\u2019t use a comma.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>To earn more money, Max is doing night shifts these days.<\/li>\n<li>In my childhood, I used to trouble my mother a lot.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Using a comma after the adverb phrase (when it comes at the beginning of a sentence) helps us understand where it ends, and it also creates a dramatic effect.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Max is doing night shifts these days\u00a0to earn more money.<\/li>\n<li>I used to trouble my mother a lot\u00a0in my childhood.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong><span class=\"tadv-background-color\">2. Don\u2019t get confused between adverb phrases and adjective phrases.<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you misplace your adverb phrases, you could end up having\u00a0adjective phrases. Look at the following example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Let\u2019s check out the bike\u00a0<span class=\"tadv-color\">in the next room<\/span>.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Is the prepositional phrase modifying the verb CHECK OUT or the noun BIKE? Shall we go to the next room to check out the bike or check out the bike that is in the next room?<\/p>\n<p>The prepositional phrase is intended to modify the verb, but it seems to be modifying the noun, logically. In such a case, rephrasing or rewording is the best way to avoid confusion.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Let\u2019s go<span class=\"tadv-color\">\u00a0to the next room<\/span>\u00a0and check out the bike.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong><span class=\"tadv-background-color\">3. You can have multiple adverb phrases in your sentence.<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you wish to, you can use multiple adverb phrases in your sentence. Let me show you an example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>After the match<\/strong>, we will have a party\u00a0<strong><span class=\"tadv-color\">at my house<\/span><span class=\"tadv-color\">\u00a0to celebrate our victory<\/span><\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.sng.link\/Bcofz\/yv45\/8wer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-25525622 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/blog-banner1-1-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"345\" height=\"345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/blog-banner1-1-1.png 345w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/blog-banner1-1-1-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/blog-banner1-1-1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/blog-banner1-1-1-24x24.png 24w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/blog-banner1-1-1-48x48.png 48w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/blog-banner1-1-1-96x96.png 96w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/blog-banner1-1-1-75x75.png 75w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 345px) 100vw, 345px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are\u00a0Adverb Phrases\u00a0in English?
