MISPLACED MODIFIERS
As a general rule, a modifier should be placed as close as possible to what it modifies.

Example:
Following are some useful tips for protecting your person and property from the FBI.

As written, the sentence implies that the FBI is a threat to your person and property. To correct the sentence put the modifier "from the FBI" next to the word it modifies, "tips:"

Following are some useful tips from the FBI for protecting your person and property.

* When a phrase begins a sentence, make sure that it modifies the subject of the sentence.

Example:
Coming around the corner, a few moments passed before I could recognize my old home.

As worded, the sentence implies that the moments were coming around the corner. The sentence can be corrected as follows:

As I came around the corner, a few moments passed before I could recognize my old home.

or

Coming around the corner, I paused a few moments before I could recognize my old home.
