Appositive

AnonymousThe question is "Where shall we go next?"

I would punctuate it as shown above.

AnonymousIs "where shall we go next?" an appositive in the above sentence?

No. It's a subject complement, as are all the underlined items below.

The word is "dinosaur".
This is the question.

CalifJimNo. It's a subject complement

Thanks.

Anonymous CalifJim No. It's a subject complement Thanks.

By the way, if you want to make it an appositive, you can do that like this:

Let's talk about the question "Where shall we go next?"

Now "Where shall we go next?" is placed directly after the question, so "Where shall we go next?" is an appositive.

That's what I have mistakenly wanted to see in the OP's sentence. Now all is clear. Thanks a lot.

Oh. I thought you were the OP!

CalifJimOh. I thought you were the OP!

I'm not, but it's my native tongue grammar which interferes with my usage of English. My language has rich declension in contrast with English hence, sometimes, my clumsy overuse of the genitive.

CalifJim: Oh. I thought you were the OP!

Anonymous:I'm not

Really? Then it's an incredible coincidence that you and the OP are using the same address to access the internet . Perhaps you might consider registering with us, so that we don't confuse you with other anonymous members in the future

Thanks for that, but I feel more comfortable in my anonymous shoes.

That's up to you, but please don't claim to be two different people. It's confusing enough as it is when we have more than one Anon in a tthread.
