What is an appositive?

Question

What is a direct address?

Thank you so much.

Answer 1

1) an appositive is a noun or noun phrase that renames another noun right beside it. The appositive can be short or a long combination of words:

Example: The insect, a cockroach, is crawling across the table.

2. Direct address is speaking directly to some one. Note the punctuation:

Example: Tom, what on earth are you doing?

Indirect Address: I asked Tom what he was doing.
