How is the comma used as an interrupter in this sentence? Who, in your opinion, won the battle of Waterloo? appositive direct address parenthetical expression summary coordinate adjectives preceding a noun

OpenStudy (conqueror):

Not summary.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thats one

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Obviously But what is an appositive?

OpenStudy (conqueror):

I'll copy and paste my definitions from the last question.

OpenStudy (conqueror):

Appositive: An appositive is a noun, noun phrase, or series of nouns placed next to another word or phrase to identify or rename it. Direct Address: A direct address is the name of the person (normally) who is being directly spoken to. It is always a proper noun. It does not have any grammatical relationship to any part of the sentence. It is set off by commas. Parenthetical Expression: A parenthetical expression is an expression which is inserted into the flow of thought. It may be in the middle of a sentence or between sentences, but it does not deal directly with the topic at hand. Summary is just an explanation.

sammixboo (sammixboo):

And appositive is another noun that renames the noun next to it

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Oh there we go, haha

OpenStudy (conqueror):

@colefoster What choice do you think could be right ?

sammixboo (sammixboo):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Well, a summary is an explanation of something in a shorter form
