About This Resource

This B1–B2 resource develops editing awareness for ambiguity created by modifier scope, attachment, pronoun reference, and sentence structure. It helps learners recognize when more than one interpretation is possible and revise the sentence so the intended meaning is easier to recover.

What You’ll Learn

• Identify ambiguity caused by limiting modifier placement.
• Revise dangling or unclear modifier attachment.
• Clarify ambiguous pronoun reference.
• Restructure sentences when word order permits an unintended meaning.
