Henle Latin study guide
An appositive renames its noun like a predicate nominative, but it is not linked to the noun by
a linking verb; it is in apposition to it - positioned directly next to its noun. An appositive
must agree with its noun in number and case--and its noun can be in any case! In English the
appositive is set off by commas but in Latin an appositive may precede or follows its noun
without commas. The appositive may be made up of more than one word, such as Filius Dei.
In such cases the additional words are in a case determined by their own function.
