An appositive is a noun or noun phrase that renames another noun right beside it. The appositive can be a short or long combination of words. Look at these examples:
The insect, a!@#$%^&roach, is crawling across the kitchen table.
The insect, a large!@#$%^&roach, is crawling across the kitchen table.
The insect, a large!@#$%^&roach with hairy legs, is crawling across the kitchen table.
The insect, a large, hairy-legged!@#$%^&roach that has spied my bowl of oatmeal, is crawling across the kitchen table.
What do you see in the examples?
