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

English
2 answers:
Talja [164]3 years ago
7 0

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>

Question 1: On page 37, why did Ponyboy talk so harshly to Johnny about his home life? What emotion do you think Ponyboy was fee
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer: Answer 1: Ponyboy spoke so harshly about Johnny's home life because his folks didn't even care about him and he was getting beat, and he still stayed home. Ponyboy felt mad because when Darry saw him doing homework and getting A he told him to play football, then the reverse, and that's why Ponyboy didn't like Darry.

Answer 2: Greasers handle being an "outsider" by doing whatever they could by getting money and supplies. An outsider means your left out by others and not invited by others.

Read the passage from "By the Waters of Babylon.' Toward the setting of the eighth sun, I came to the banks of the great river.
STALIN [3.7K]

'They are falling apart into great blocks of stone, and the forest is safer going.'  AND  'No man of my tribe had seen it, not even my father, the priest. It was magic and I prayed.'

In the first quote we see that the narrator is cautious because he talks of the god-roads falling apart. He says that "the forest is safer going". These elements of this quote show us that he is taking care. The second quote shows how rare it is for the river to be seen in his tribe. He says that it "was magic" and that he prayed. One can assume that he is praying because he is in the presence of magic and he is being cautious about what may happen next.
