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.
