Disruptive & Misplaced Modifiers
Limiting Modifiers include words such as almost, hardly, even, just, merely, not, only, and simply.
Limiting modifiers should always go before the word or words they modify in a work
Be careful of modifiers that seem to modify two things.
For example notice how many times the word "just" is used in this sentence
Just twenty new people just volunteered just for the sea turtle rescue program just for the spring.
When we write we sometimes don't realize that we use disruptive and misplaced modifiers, to help with this is to re read your essay and catch them.
