Appositives!!
(It sounds fancy, but it's not really!!) (You've got this!!)
2
Saying that there's an "appositive" is a fancy way of saying you're identifying or explaining a noun.
And we all know a noun is a person, place, thing, or idea.
3
An appositive will ALWAYS come after the noun it identifies or explains.
Literally 100% of the time.
Usually, it is the word RIGHT IN FRONT of the appositive.
4
Multiple Choice
Appositives are located...
before the noun it describes.
after the noun it describes.
in a different sentence.
5
One problem....
What does an appositive look like in a sentence? Let's look at a sentence and see if we can figure it out.
6
Nosferatu, a vampire in the Krusty Krab, is switching the lights on and off to scare Spongebob.
Where is the appositive?
7
What do we notice about the appositive?
It immediately follows the noun it identifies (Nosferatu).
It is separated by COMMAS.
The commas show that the appositive is extra information. We don't need it, but it makes our sentences sound better.

Perry, a platypus with a fancy hat, fights crime to help the Tri-state Area. What's the appositive?

a platypus with a fancy hat

What do we need to remember?
Appositives identify or explain a noun. They offer more information
They ALWAYS, 100% OF THE TIME follow the noun they identify or explain.
They are separated from the rest of the sentence by a set of commas.
They're not as complicated as they sound, but now you know a fancy word for it!!
