Here's how it works:
* Appositives are phrases or words that rename or explain a noun that comes before it. They provide additional information about the noun.
* Appositive pronouns are pronouns that act as appositives, further clarifying or renaming the noun.
Example:
"My friend, she is a talented artist."
* "My friend" is the noun.
* "She" is the appositive pronoun, renaming "my friend" and clarifying that the friend is female.
Other examples of appositive pronouns:
* "The dog, it was a golden retriever."
* "The car, it was a bright red sports car."
Remember, appositive pronouns must be in the same case as the noun they refer to. In the examples above, both "she" and "it" are in the nominative case because the noun they rename ("friend" and "dog") are also in the nominative case.
