An appositive is a noun or noun phrase that identifies or renames another noun. It is a way of adding details to a sentence. The appositive is placed near the word or phrase it identifies or renames, thus it is placed in apposition to that word or phrase.

Examples:

Mr. Mason, the manager, can answer your question.

You'll have to ask Mr. Mason, the man in the green vest.
