English

NISA [10]3 years ago

<span>An appositive (or an appositive phrase) gives more information about a noun. The appositive is usually placed next to the noun it modifies. Writers use appositive and appositive phrases in order to provide more information about something. Consider this sentence: Samson, my little puppy, tore the pillow apart. Here, the phrase "my little puppy" is an appositive phrase that tells us more about the noun "Samson." Thanks to the appositive phrase, the reader knows that it was a little puppy that tore the pillow apart, and not a person or other animal. Therefore, appositives are important in order to clearly convey information to the reader.</span>

How does the stranger's interaction with elisa at her garden differ from henry's interaction with her at her garden?
kodGreya [7K]
The stranger's interaction with Elisa at her garden is different from Henry's interaction with her at her garden. The stranger's interaction with Elisa was a bit awkward since they were not introduced formally and Elisa was a bit professional as she entertains the stranger. On the other hand, Elisa was comfortable with Henry since they have been friends for a while already.
