Writing with Appositive Phrases
You may recognize these lyrics, adapted from a song in a popular musical:
Doe, a deer, a female deer
Ray, a golden drop of sun
Me, a name I call myself
Far, a long, long way to run
Sew, a needle pulling thread
La, a note to follow “Sew”
Tea, a drink with jam and bread….
The lines of this song make a series of appositive phrases: phrases that re-name or identify a noun or pronoun.
Directions: For the next three questions, fill in the blank with a noun or pronoun for each appositive phrase, or an appositive phrase that renames or identifies the noun or pronoun in each sentence. You’ll need to be creative.
