So #1 is an appositive
and I'm still not sure about #2

btw, yes i did check both sites.

#1 is not an appositive. This is a line from near the top of the OWL site.

"An appositive is a noun or pronoun — often with modifiers — set beside another noun or pronoun to explain or identify it. "
So then an adjective phrase?

I explained appositives to you yesterday... and gave you examples.
MC -- you're blindly guessing.
I think so too :(
