about that noun. Below are detailed information about Appositive:

Appositives often used to describe, identify or provide detailed information


about a name.

 Attention:
- Appositives are usually placed after the noun they modify.
- They are usually separated by commas (,) or parentheses (').
However, in some cases, appositives can also come before the noun they
modify.
