What is an "appositive noun"?
An appositive noun is a noun or noun phrase that renames or provides additional information about another noun next to it in a sentence. It is typically set off by commas when it adds extra detail but is not essential to the meaning of the sentence. For example, in the sentence "My brother, an engineer, works in a tech company," the appositive noun "an engineer" gives more information about "my brother." Appositives can help clarify or specify who or what is being discussed, making them important for enhancing sentence clarity and providing additional context.
