1. The phrase that defines an appositive is "a word or group of words that renames a noun." To identify an appositive, look for a word or group of words that provides additional information or descriptions about a noun. It often appears right next to the noun it renames, separated by commas, and can be removed from the sentence without changing its meaning.
2. To show ownership for singular nouns, you typically add -'s to the noun. For example, if you want to indicate that something belongs to a singular noun like "dog," you would write "dog's." This applies to most singular nouns, regardless of whether they end in a vowel, consonant, or -s. However, if the singular noun already ends in -s, you can simply add an apostrophe (') after the -s without adding another -s. For example, if the noun is "Chris," you would write "Chris'" to indicate ownership.
