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? 1.Pedro, a tall and slender man, rescued the kitten from the tree. 2.Vasco da Gama, a Portuguese explorer, was the first European to reach India by sea. 3.Last week, Freddie witnessed an odd event, a pig and a cat taking a nap together. 4.The professor, a woman of keen insight, explained her interpretation of the story. 5.The band played “Panther Pride,” the school’s fight song, during the graduation ceremony. 6.Hank Aaron, the right fielder from Alabama, broke Babe Ruth’s record for home runs.

Why use appositives? Sometimes when we write, we want to add new information without creating a new sentence. For example…

Let’s ask ourselves, what is being renamed?? Avon, a rather small snail, read a book every day.

So what is an appositive?? noun or pronoun -- often with modifiers -- set beside another noun or pronoun to explain or identify it Keith, the boy in rumpled shorts and shirt, did not know he was being watched as he entered room 215 of the Mountain View Inn.

Placement of appositives An appositive phrase usually follows the word it explains or identifies, but it may also precede it.

So let’s practice using appositives I watched her playing ladushky with Mimmo so he wouldn’t cry. Ladushky is a clapping song. The clapping song is Russian.

When do we use punctuation? Remember non-essential clauses/phrases? Commas

When there is an essential information contained in the appositive, then you don’t need commas.
