True or false ? An appositive is a noun that is place after another noun in order to tell more about it and it’s usually set off with commas

True. An appositive is indeed a noun or noun phrase placed after another noun to provide additional information about it, and it is typically set off with commas if it is non-restrictive (i.e., if the sentence would still be clear without it). For example, in the sentence "My brother, a talented musician, will be performing tonight," "a talented musician" is an appositive that gives more information about "my brother."
