Answer:

TRUE

Step-by-step explanation:

Phrases are a group of words that functions as a single unit and that, unlike clauses, do not contain either a subject or a verb, and they don't contain a predicate either. Appositive phrases are no exception, therefore, they do not contain a subject, a verb or a predicate, and they do not expresse a complete thought.

Appositive phrases' function is to rename, identify or give further information of another noun placed right beside it. Examples of sentences containing appositives (underlined):

My neighbor Alex has been working in the garage all weekend.

Eli, the girl living next door, is out of town.
