"Dangling participle" = bổ ngữ lơ lửng -> nghĩa là thành phần bổ ngữ trong câu không liên kết rõ ràng với thành phần được bổ sung ý nghĩa trong câu.

Ví dụ
This example is known as a dangling participle. The subject of the participle (phân từ) “barking loudly” is missing. The subject (chủ ngữ) of this sentence is “the whole neighborhood.” But it is1 not the whole neighborhood that is barking – such a situation would be truly bizarre!

Here, we’ll explore some examples of dangling participles, helping you learn more about this literary fumble (sai sót) and understand how to avoid using this mistake in your writing.

Why it’s a dangling participle: Since the true subject of the sentence is missing, it seems like the weeds are somehow taking a look around the backyard and noticing themselves.

A dangling participle is a modifier that doesn't seem to modify anything. It occurs (xảy ra) when the word being modified (bổ ngữ) is either left out of the sentence or isn't located near the modifier. Put another way, a dangling participle is a modifier in search of a word to modify.
