Here's the breakdown:
* Appositive: A word or phrase that renames or explains another noun. It is placed right next to the noun it modifies.
* Verb Tense: Indicates the time of an action or state of being (e.g., past, present, future).
Example:
* My dog, a golden retriever named Buddy, loves to play fetch. (The appositive "a golden retriever named Buddy" renames the noun "dog.")
