Grammar and usage

Step 1: General introduction

The grammar items in this unit deal with apposition. You will learn what appositions are and how to form appositions in sentences. You are expected to apply what you have learnt in practical use.

Step2: Explanation and practice:

Definition: a construction in which a noun or noun phrase is placed with another as an explanatory equivalent, both having the same syntactic relation to the other elements in the sentence.

1. When two noun phrases come one after the other in a sentence and both refer to the same thing, these nouns phrases are in apposition.

Examples;

1). The French flag, the ‘Tricolore’, was first used in 1789, at the start

of the French Revolution. (The French flag and the ‘Tricolore ’are in apposition as they refer to the same thing)

2). The USA was also born from revolution, and its flag, ‘Stars and Stripes’,

symbolizes this. (its flag and ‘Stars and Stripes’ are in apposition as they refer to the same thing.)

3). Mr Li, my uncle, will be off to London next month. (Mr. Li and my uncle are

in apposition as they refer to the same person.)

4). This film, The promise, has been very popular recently. (This film and The

promise in apposition as they refer to the same thing.)

2. When use a comma before and after the second phrase when it adds more information.

The flag,a simple design of red over white, has a long history that dates back to the 13th century.

3. We do not use a comma before and after the second phrase when it explains what the first one is.

The colors red, white and blue used on the flag are a visual reminder of the motto of the Revolution—liberty, equality and fraternity.

4. We sometimes use apposition to emphasize our ideas.

We love our flag, our unique flag.

Tom is my friend, my closest friend.

5. A noun clause after a noun can also be a form of an apposition.

Examples:

1).The news that France had a successful revolution had a big effect on

other countries, particularly those in Europe.

2).The fact that some countries use the same colors on the flags can mean

they share similar beliefs.

3).We can use apposition to join two sentences together.

4).The team has won the game. Everyone in the city is excited by the news.

5).Everyone in the city is excited by the news that the team has won the game.

6).The monitor didn’t tell us the truth that our football team won the

first prize in the match.

7).We have got the information that all the students will have to pass the

oral test before they can go in for the competition.

6. Other nouns that can be used before the noun clauses in apposition include:

Truth idea hope information

Many people are unaware of the truth that the USA was colonized by Britain.

The idea that red represents bravery and blood is widely believed.

I am reading this book in the hope that I can learn more about nation.

Did he give you the information that the meaning of different flags should be explained in your report?

7. Exercise: find out the appositive in the following sentences:

1).Your brother, a proud and unbending man, refused all help that was offered him.
