If you are telling something to Sue, then Rylee's sentence is fine.
If Sue and "neighbor" are the same person, then Rylee's sentence is not fine.
If Sue and "neighbor" are the same person, then Rylee's sentence is not fine.

oh im sorry. then would it be:
Sue my neighbor, usually plants her flowers in April.
u would just adjust the comma.
Sue my neighbor, usually plants her flowers in April.
u would just adjust the comma.

No, Rylee. You need BOTH commas if "Sue" and "neighbor" were referring to the same person.

k so it would be:
same person=
Sue, my neighbor,usually plants her flowers in April.
different=Sue, my neighbor usually plants her flowers in April.
I was just confused what her question was since she didn't come to check again.
