Explanation:

An appositive is a noun or pronoun set beside another noun or pronoun to explain or identify it. When the appositive is used with words that modify it, we get an appositive phrase.

An appositive phrase usually follows the word it refers to. It's often framed by commas, except when it's considered to be an essential part of the sentence.

Here are some examples:

identify the subordinate clause in each of the following sentences. tell whether each clause is used as an adjective, an adverb, or a noun.
