Phrases – 2
We have already looked at prepositional phrases.
Now we are going to look at the second type of phrases - appositives
![Page 5: Phrases Miss Costantini English 1 and 3 Phrases – 2 Remember A phrase is a group of words that acts as a unit A phrase DOES NOT have a subject and a](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649ca45503460f94965c0b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Appositive Phrases An appositive phrase is another
group of words that acts as a unit and does NOT have a subject and verb.
It consists of a noun (and all of its modifiers) that renames or provides additional information about another noun in the sentence.
![Page 6: Phrases Miss Costantini English 1 and 3 Phrases – 2 Remember A phrase is a group of words that acts as a unit A phrase DOES NOT have a subject and a](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649ca45503460f94965c0b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Appositive Phrases An appositive normally sits next to
the noun it renames; in other words, it is “positioned next to” that noun, which is why it is said to be “in apposition”.

Appositive PhrasesMy favorite president Harry Truman led the American people through the end of World War II.

![Page 13: Phrases Miss Costantini English 1 and 3 Phrases – 2 Remember A phrase is a group of words that acts as a unit A phrase DOES NOT have a subject and a](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649ca45503460f94965c0b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Appositive PhrasesMy favorite president Harry Truman led the American people through the end of World War II.
One check is to eliminate the appositive, and see what happens. Here, you have a complete sentence, but you really don’t know to whom I am referring. The information is incomplete. I need to supply his name.
![Page 14: Phrases Miss Costantini English 1 and 3 Phrases – 2 Remember A phrase is a group of words that acts as a unit A phrase DOES NOT have a subject and a](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649ca45503460f94965c0b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Appositive Phrases
My favorite president Harry Truman led the American people through the end of World War II.
The second check is to see if I can change the appositive and keep the meaning of the sentence. If I do change this appositive and put in another name, I have changed the meaning of the sentence entirely.
![Page 15: Phrases Miss Costantini English 1 and 3 Phrases – 2 Remember A phrase is a group of words that acts as a unit A phrase DOES NOT have a subject and a](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649ca45503460f94965c0b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Appositive Phrases

information that in itself may be important, but is really only additional information and is not necessary to the core meaning of the sentence.

Appositive PhrasesHarry Truman, my favorite

Appositive Phrases Verbs of being are weaker verbs
that don’t do much for your sentence.
You want to eliminate as many of them as you can to use action verbs to make your writing vibrant.
