SAT语法考试中的修饰问题，一般来讲，形容词，副词，形容词短语，副词短语，形容词从句，副词从句，这些都需要紧紧跟着所修饰的词，如果这些修饰语远离了他们的饰词那么就会造成困惑。今天我们就来看看SAT语法中修饰语的问题。
1. 将副词only,almost,even,ever,just,merely,scarcely放在所要修饰词的旁边。
例如：The walrus almost ate all the oysters(这里就会造成歧义，海象几乎吃了所有的牡蛎，那么海象是全部吃了还是突出一部分?)
正确的应该是：The walrus ate almost all the oysters
2. 将短语放在所要修饰的词旁边
The advertisement stated that a used cauldron was wanted by an elderly witch with stubby legs.(这里会引起歧义，广告所要说的肯定不是这个witch的身体上的残疾)
正确的应该是：The advertisement stated that a used cauldron with stubby legs was wanted by an elderly witch
3. 将形容词从句放在所要修饰词旁边
The owl and the pussycat bought a wedding ring from the pig which cost one shilling.
正确的应该是：The owl and the pussycat bought a wedding ring which cost one shilling from the pig.
4. 如果词或者短语有可能修饰先行词后面还跟着修饰词，那么就叫做岐形修饰语。
The oysters agreed on Sunday to go for a stroll with the walrus.
正确的是The oysters agreed to go for a stroll with the walrus on Sunday.
5. 谈到SAT语法中的修饰问题不得不说就是悬垂修饰，当修饰短语或者从句位于一个句子的主句前面时，位置就是一切，这些修饰语要直接放在主句的主语前面，必须非常清晰的修饰主语，如果修饰语放在了句子的错误的位置，就会形成悬垂修饰而没有任何意义。
修改悬垂修饰的方法就是重新排列据悉的位置，将主语和修饰语放在一起，需要加入几个词而让句子的意思更加清晰。
1) 悬垂分词
Walking down the Yellow Brick Road, the Castle of Great Oz was seen.这里walking的动作发出者是castle很显然是错误的。
正确：Walking down the Yellow Brick Road, I see the Castle of Great Oz was seen.
这样walking就在主句主语的前面了。
The time passed very enjoyably, singing songs and romping with Toto.这里time做了singing,romping的主语了
正确：They passed the time very enjoyably, singing songs and romping with Toto.
还要注意一下悬垂短语中包含动名词和不定式的情况：
Upon hearing the report that a troll had been found in the cellars, the building was cleared
正确：Upon hearing the report that a troll had been found in the cellars, theheadmaster cleared the building.
以上就是要给考生分享的关于SAT语法中修饰语的问题，这个考点主要出现在改进句子题中，大家在练习的时候试着把错误的选项改正过来，也是一种非常好的锻炼方法，前程百利预祝大家取得理想的SAT考试成绩。
