GMAT Ninja SC Ep 8: -ing & -ed Modifiers

For many test-takers, modifiers are a constant source of headaches on Executive Assessment Sentence Correction questions. When it comes to "-ing" and "-ed" modifiers -- otherwise known as participles, if you happen to like jargon -- those headaches come in two flavors: you might struggle to identify whether a word is a verb or a modifier in the first place. And even if you correctly identify a modifier, you might struggle to figure out what, exactly, to do with it on SC questions.

In this video, Dana -- a GMAT Ninja tutor -- will help you identify the role that an "-ing" or "-ed" word plays in a sentence. Then, she'll explain how to use that to efficiently eliminate answer choices that contain modifier errors.
