Choose a label that best describes the phrase in CAPS:
1.Two small round tables sat OUTSIDE THE BACK DOOR.
Ans-I think this one is either an appositive phrase, or an adjective phrase.
2.Finally, they decided on checkers, AN OLD FAVORITE OF MINE.
Ans- not sure what this one would be

So #1 is an appositive
and I'm still not sure about #2
btw, yes i did check both sites.

#1 is not an appositive. This is a line from near the top of the OWL site.
"An appositive is a noun or pronoun — often with modifiers — set beside another noun or pronoun to explain or identify it. "
So then an adjective phrase?
-MC
I explained appositives to you yesterday... and gave you examples.
MC -- you're blindly guessing.
I think so too :(
