You're on the right track, but you still haven't posted a good sentence.

Start with "When . . ."

Your attempt to correct the sentence is not quite accurate. Let's analyze the sentence and make the necessary revisions.

The original sentence, "Squeezing the can, tomatoes didn't seem ripe to DeeDee," contains a dangling modifier. The phrase "Squeezing the can" is supposed to modify the subject DeeDee, but it is placed incorrectly at the beginning of the sentence, leading to confusion.

To correct the sentence, we need to reposition the modifier and clarify the intended meaning. Here's a revised version:

"To DeeDee, the tomatoes didn't seem ripe when she squeezed the can."

In this revision, the modifier "when she squeezed the can" is properly placed to indicate the timing of DeeDee's action. Additionally, "the tomatoes" is specified as the subject, making the sentence clearer and more coherent.
