The Appositive 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 cockroach, is crawling across the kitchen table. The insect, a large cockroach with hairy legs, is crawling across the kitchen table. The insect, a large, hairy-legged cockroach that has spied my bowl of oatmeal, is crawling across the kitchen table. Here are more examples: During the dinner conversation, Clifford, the messiest eater at the table, spewed mashed potatoes like an erupting volcano. Genette's bedroom desk, the biggest disaster area in the house, is a collection of overdue library books, dirty plates, computer components, old mail, cat hair, and empty potato chip bags. Reliable, Diane's eleven-year-old beagle, chews holes in the living room carpeting as if he were still a puppy.
Punctuate the appositive correctly. The important point to remember is that a nonessential appositive is always separated from the rest of the sentence with comma(s). When the appositive begins the sentence, it looks like this: A hot-tempered tennis player, Robbie charged the umpire and tried to crack the poor man's skull with a racket. When the appositive interrupts the sentence, it looks like this: Robbie, a hot-tempered tennis player, charged the umpire and tried to crack the poor man's skull with a racket. And when the appositive ends the sentence, it looks like this: Upset by the bad call, the crowd cheered Robbie, a hottempered tennis player who charged the umpire and tried to crack the poor man's skull with a racket.

Misplaced (or dangling) Modifiers A. K. A. Dangling/misplaced participial phrases -ing After following the vision program for two weeks, my doctor told me that my eyesight had improved. THINK: Who’s following the vision program? Are you or is the Doc? Make sure your modifier is close to its antecedent
Participle (the –ing word modifying the noun---acts as a modifier--thus, D. M. Building blocks: A participle is an '-ing' word that modifies a noun. Very often, words that end in '-ing' are the present participles of verbs, such as swimming, talking, laughing, and so on. A participle can be part of a larger phrase, called a participial phrase, that modifies a noun. Quick rules: The participial phrase should be followed by a comma and then the noun that's being modified. That noun must be the subject of the main clause. When the participial phrase does not modify the subject, we say that it is dangling. Let's break down Ted's sentence. After getting kicked off the basketball team, the mall became Jake's new favorite hangout. 'After getting kicked off the basketball team' is the participial phrase that modifies the subject, Jake. As the sentence is written now, however, the subject of the main clause seems to be 'the mall. ' Ted's teacher asked if malls could dribble and shoot (heh heh) because this sentence implies that the mall got kicked off the basketball team. Correction: Sentences with dangling participles usually require some reworking. Here are two alternatives: After getting kicked off the basketball team, Jake started hanging out at the mall. The mall became Jake's new favorite hangout after he got kicked off the basketball team.
