What type of punctuation is necessary to set apart nonessential appositive phrases?

English

Talja [164]3 years ago

commas, dashes, or parentheses


Nonessential appositive phrases can be separated from the rest of a sentence in three ways—with commas, with dashes, or with parentheses. Let’s look at example sentences that essentially mean the same thing:


The best pet in the world, a dog, will always be known as “man’s best friend.”

The best pet in the world—a dog—will always be known as “man’s best friend.”

The best pet in the world (a dog) will always be known as “man’s best friend.”

An appositive phrase is a noun or a noun phrase that renames, identifies or gives further information of another noun right beside it. Now, this type of phrase can be either restrictive or nonrestrictive (when it's not essential to the sentence, and therefore should be set off with a type of punctuation).

The type of punctuation used in nonessential or nonrestrictive appositive phrases are <u>commas, dashes or brackets</u>. Here are some examples:

<em>Mariana -that girl with the red jacket- is not from here.</em>

<em>My cat, Tigor, does not eat fish.</em>

<em>I need to clean up those shoes (The ones with the red bow).</em>

jarptica [38.1K]
Jean Crevecoeur wrote an essay titled "What is an American". The purpose of this essay is to introduce America as a new land to the Europeans who know nothing about America. He describes the differences between America and Europe, the opportunities for employment, the people's freedom and their ability to have a relationship with nature. The reoccurring theme throughout this essay is how good the new land is compared to Europe. He states that it is easier to live in America than under the strict and unfair regimes in Europe
