Appositive clause

Appositive clause can be divided into two parts, restrictive appositive clause and non-restrictive appositive clause. The function of appositive clause is to explain the noun further, which means that make reader or listener more clear about the noun writter or speaker expresses.

Here the examples of restrictive appositive clause:
1. My father Guan Ping has told me that you get out what you put in.
2. My favourite movie is The Rock which was acted by the famous actor Nicolas Cage.

Here a example of non-restrictive appositive clause:
1. Niki's car, the red one in the parking, must be stolen by Derek.
