Word Choice...Author’s Craft… Brush Strokes... Left-side Title Commas with Appositives The definition of an appositive is a word or word group that defines or further identifies the noun or noun phrase preceding (before) it. Rule: When an appositive is essential to the meaning of the noun it belongs to, don’t use commas. When the noun preceding the appositive provides sufficient identification on its own, use commas around the appositive. Example: Jorge Torres, our senator, was born in California. Explanation: Our senator is an appositive of the proper noun Jorge Torres. Our senator is surrounded by commas because Jorge Torres is a precise identifier. Example: Our pediatrician, André Wilson, was born in California. Explanation: Our pediatrician is still a relatively precise identifier so André Wilson is not considered essential. Example: CEO Julie Minsky will be our featured speaker. Explanation: Julie Minsky is necessary to help identify CEO, so no commas are used. Example: Julie Minsky, CEO, will be our featured speaker. Explanation: Julie Minsky is a precise identifier so the appositive is surrounded by commas. Appositives
