Question

Can someone please help me? I'm awful at writing.
Choose a topic of interest to you and write a paragraph, using verbals and appositives to make your writing lively. Make sure each sentence has at least one verbal or appositive.

Answer 1

What is your topic of interest? Let's start there.

Answer 2

An appositive renames a noun. For example:
Jim, a burly man, looked out of place in his tuxedo.
In this case, “a burly man” is renaming “Jim.”


A verbal is a verb that is written as another part of speech. For example:

Written as an adjective - The children, crying and exhausted, were guided out of the collapsed mine.
“Crying” and “exhausted” would be the verbals in the above sentence.

Written as a noun – Crying will not get you anywhere.
In this case, “crying,” is the subject of the sentence.
