نکات کاربردی
In standard English grammar, appositives are usually set off by commas unless they are 'restrictive' (meaning the sentence wouldn't make sense or the identity wouldn't be clear without them). It is also used in medical contexts to describe the fitting together of two surfaces, like wound edges.
اشتباهات رایج
The most common mistake is omitting commas when providing extra, non-essential information (non-restrictive apposition), which can occasionally change the meaning of the sentence.
