Appositive and Appositive Phrases They modify and describe!

Appositives are so cool! Here’s the 411 on appositives: They are a noun or pronoun They are placed beside another noun or pronoun to identify or describe it They give us extra information about the noun or pronoun

Here’s an example of an appositive: The teacher, Ms. B, was an English nerd. See! Ms. B is a noun It’s modifying “teacher” (noun) It’s placed beside the noun or pronoun it’s modifying And it’s giving us extra information!

Here’s another example: I chose one person, her, to organize the shoe closet. Is “her” a noun or pronoun? What is it modifying? Is “person” a noun or pronoun? Is “her” just extra information? Then we have an appositive!

Here’s a tough one with 3 appositives: Rachel Carson, a biologist and writer, published the book Silent Spring in 1962. Where are the appositives? Yes… biologist, writer, and Silent Spring! Good job!!!!

Practice: Where are the appositives? Charles Dickens is known for his novel Great Expectations. The scientist Marie Curie was born in 1867. Her husband, Pierre Curie, was also a scientist. The novelist Jack London wrote Call of the Wild. Nathan Studied the explorer Vasco da Gama. Karen’s brother, Darren, plays the flute. The character Tom appears in Chapter One. His cousin Ellen has a magnificent stamp collection. The famous baseball player Hank Aaron hit 755 home runs.

F.Y.I. **If the appositive is set off by commas, that means we don’t really need it in the sentence to complete the meaning and can be taken out. Example: My mom, Regina, volunteers at the city library. **If the appositive does not have any commas around it, we NEED it in the sentence to complete the meaning. Example: The book Sounder is John’s favorite novel.

Appositive Phrases This is an appositive + its modifiers They work just like appositives do (give extra information, modify nouns or pronouns, etc.) Example: Officer Webb, one of the security guards, caught the burglar. (The adjective phrase of the security guards modifies the appositive ONE and the whole thing is the appositive phrase.)

Here’s another example: Leonardo da Vinci, an Italian painter known for his artworks, was also an architect, engineer, and scientist. (The whole phrase is giving us information, can be taken out, and contains the appositive – painter) ~Here’s the same sentence without the appositive phrase: Leonardo da Vinci was also an architect, engineer, and scientist. Still makes sense!

Practice: Where are the appositive phrases? Pedro, a tall and slender man, rescued the kitten from the tree. Vasco da Gama, a Portuguese explorer, was the first European to reach India by sea. Last week, Freddie witnessed an odd event, a pig and a cat taking a nap together. The professor, a woman of keen insight, explained her interpretation of the story. The band played “Panther Pride,” the school’s fight song, during the graduation ceremony. Hank Aaron, the right fielder from Alabama, broke Babe Ruth’s record for home runs.
