An appositive is a noun or noun phrase that provides additional information about a nearby noun or pronoun. For instance, in the sentence, “Kennedy, a wiry fifty-nine-year-old who has a stern buzz cut, was the principal of Sarasota High in 1997,” the phrase "a wiry fifty-nine-year-old who has a stern buzz cut" is an appositive that offers more detail about Kennedy. Mastering the use of appositives can enhance your writing by adding clarity and depth to your descriptions.
