[@Hahahahahahdbrbdu]

short and easy

[@leenkilani5534]

thank u very much !

[@javajaker1042]

How much horse power does it take for his hand to write that fast?

[@SunitaRani-ut9of]

My favourite pastime, needlepoint, surprises some people. Identify the type of phrase in "my favourite past time". Essential appositive or non essential appositive phrase? Plz tell

[@krislegends]

It would be non-essential here because you can only have one favorite past-time. Similarly, if you say, "My mother, Sandra, is over there," you can only have one mother, so "Sandra" would be non-essential. On the other hand, "Becky" in "My sister Becky plays Soccer" would be essential because if you remove it, the question "what sister" will arise.

[@gadooze]

We can also write like below right? ▪︎My older sister-Criselda-is going to college. ▪︎They stopped selling my favorite snack: the cookie cat.

[@craigruchman7007]

I was hoping for an explanation of “My sister, Sandy, went to college. (I have one sister Sandy). As apposed to “My sister Sandy went to college (I have more than one sister). I think this is right…,

[@diontaedaughtry974]

This was great

[@store4books]

I'm not sure who your audience is, but sometimes you rabbit trail and it gets confusing. In this video, why can't you start by saying an appositive adds information? The Latin bit and rambling gets a little cluttered. An appositive adds non-essential information to the noun it's next to, and it must be separated by commas.

[@dingo6529]

Jaqui_0 Relax dude

[@dingo6529]

Jaqui_0 It's just the more detailed way of saying "It adds more info...".
