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>

Alborosie

An open-ending story occurs when readers are left uncertain about how the story is resolved. As the writer introduces a series of events but does not openly state a conclusion, readers must use their imagination to determine how the characters and situations come to an end.

An example of a open-ending story is Frank R. Stockton's short story "The lady or the Tiger?," in which a knight is forced to open one of two doors:  behind one there is a lady he does not love, and behind the other there is a fierce tiger. At the end of the story, the author asks, "And so I leave it with all of you: Which came out of the opened door - the lady, or the tiger?"

Why do you think reading your work aloud helps you to "hear" mistakes?
anygoal [31]
I would say that sometimes you would not 'identify' a mistake in your head. Also if you read it out loud you might realize how it does not make sense in your sentence. 

Hope this helped!
