Which phrase defines an appositive

1 answer

An appositive is a noun or noun phrase that renames or provides additional information about another noun right beside it in a sentence. It can be essential (restrictive) or nonessential (non-restrictive). A common example of an appositive is: "My brother, a talented musician, plays the guitar." Here, "a talented musician" is the appositive that provides more information about "my brother."
