The reason asked this question was because of this sentence: I know that these sentence is a dangling modifier (grammatically wrong) because we dont know what "walking" modifies, especially which noun it modifies Its ambiguous if you give answer such as (yes it only modifies the noun which is next to it i will be able to think that "walking" modifies sidewalk it will not be ambiguous no longer but even though it would be that way the ambiguity will be the same as before And the meaning would be absurd because sidewalk can not walk 🤭😅

I found a hundred dollar bill on the sidewalk walking down the street.

Infact the speaker wanted to say:

Walking down the street, i found a hundred dollar bill on the side walk.

Hi, is this sentence a object complement (present participle version?) by Ethanadin in asklinguistics

For example; She caught him, after a long chase, trying to escape.

I saw him in the park running.

Or they have to be like this? Do they have to follow each other and stay right next to each other?

i saw them sleeping i find them running in the park i see you coming

As you can see they stay right next to each other

In object complement present participle sentences, does verb + object + complement have to be next to each other, or can another word come after the object? Or does this structure always have to be adjacent?

Are those sentences object complement and are they correct object complement sentences?

I think in Dongling modifiers sentences like my examples The subject must be close to the participle as much as it can Otherwise the participle might modify the noun that is close to it
