Question

Identify the appositive or appositive phrase in the sentence by putting it in brackets

1. David made a game winning hit, a home run.
2. The rose bush, the plants by the hill side, are in need of watering.

Answer 1

1. (a home run)

2. (the plants by the hill side)

Step-by-step explanation:

An appositive or appositive phrase serves the function of replacing the noun in a sentence. It provides more information about the noun and can be found at the beginning, middle, or end of a sentence. Without the appositive, the meaning of the sentence will still be retained.

In the first sentence, the appositive, provides more information about the game winning hit. It was a home run. In the second sentence, the plants by the hill side offers further description of where the rose bush was situated.
