I learned that an appositive is a noun or a noun phrase that is placed next to another noun or noun phrase to help identify it. I also learned that appositives can be imperative or extra information. If the information is extra, it must be followed by a comma. If the information is essential, then you don't need a comma.
Examples:
1. My friend, Cesar, plays Basketball and likes to watch movies.
The grammar girl episode is about appositive. An appositive is a noun or a noun phrase that is placed next to another noun or noun phrase to help identify it .For example if I said "She, my sister is always late," the appositive “my sister” renames the pronoun “she.” I also learned that only appositives that are extra information get commas. If the information is essential, you don’t use commas. If it is extra, you use extra commas. For example, The sentence I used earlier in my post didn't need the word "she" so I used a comma after it to show that its just extra information. So it would look like this: My sister is always late.
I learned that a appositive is a noun phrase that is placed next to another noun or noun phrase to help identify it.I learned that if you write extra information you have to put a comma.
Ex. 1. My coach, Raymond, taught me how to harder when I throw a baseball.
I found this episode very confusing, but my mom explained the way she learned it:
1. My sister, Shira, is adorable. This means that I only have one sister.
My sister Shira is adorable. This means that I have more than one sister, so I am identifying which one.
This still fits within Grammar Girl's rule because in the first example Shira's name is extra but in the second it is essential to identify which sister I'm talking about.
The first example used by Dodger fan fits into my understanding because there is just one coach, so his name is superfluous and needs to be set off with commas.
1. I liked the examples that "dodger fan" used, because it clearly shows how and when a comma is supposed to be used. He/she shows how the coach is being idenitfied with a comma.
2. I think Jacob Artson was a little mistaken about his examples. He wrote, "My sister, Shira, is adorable. This means that I only have one sister." If he has one sister then there is no need of identification or a comma.
This episode is about appositive. An appositive is a noun or a noun phrase that is placed next to another noun or noun phrase to help identify it. Appositives can be essential or extra information.If the appositive is essential you don't use commas but is it is extra your use commas.
Examples: 1. My friend Jimmy got engaged to the fireman's daughter, Sarah. 2. The shop on the corner is run by Bobby, a long-time friend.
This podcast was about appositives. An appositive is a noun or a noun phrase that is placed next to another noun or noun phrase to help identify it. Appositives can be essential information or extra information. Only appositives that are extra information receive commas.

Responses:
1. Ana's examples are great but not so understandable as in what the appoositives are asking for. I like her examples but it has to be more details with more commas.
2. I think Alyssa did the same that Ana did, because in the episode said that while writing a sentence is using more commas to become a appositive noun.

This week podcast #141 was about appositive how it’s a noun or a noun phrase that is placed next to another noun or noun phrase to help identify it.This podcast was useful to me as a writer because the rule for appositives is that if the information is essential, you don’t use commas if it is extra, you use extra commas. Understanding the rule of appositive gives me a better view on how to use the commas correctly.
Examples:
1. Natalie, my sister, never got in trouble. 2. Natalite never got in trouble.

*Responses 1. Sakina's second example "my brother is very annoying and funny at sometimes" was not wrong. However, there was no appostive in her sentece. She could have wrote "My brother, Fahiz is very annoying and funny sometimes." (appositive: my brother, subject : Fahiz / extra information; therefore the comma) or "My brother Fahiz is very annoying and funny sometimes."(subject: Fahiz, appositive: my brother / essential information; therefore no commas). There are a lot of other ways. 2. Duckie's example, "My friend Jimmy got engaged to the fireman's daughter, Sarah. " was good. He/she was using appositive twice in one sentence. It was brilliant, but I think it would have been better if he/she had explained about his/her sentence.
