Quiz chapters 14 and 15 (Post 37)

Tomorrow I have a quiz in comp 101 on chapters 14 and 15. The first thing the chapter talks about is modifiers and how to properly place them in a sentence. "the modifiers should be placed as close as possible to the words they want to modify. " I think that makes sense. The chapter also advises to "put lengtly modifiers at the beginning or the end of a sentence."' (I think I tend to put them in the middle, I'll have to watch that.) Two other potential problems are splitting modifiers and dangling modifiers.
Chapter 15 is about Faulty Shifts. the book says, "when writing, it is best to use the same verb tense throughout ." This too makes sense. then it goes on to talk about avoiding mixed constructions and to create consistency between subjects and predicates.
