Are they titles?
Hi. Please help. Can they be titles to a person that are to be written as appositives after a person's name?
mother of John Doe
founder of such and such a company
spiritual leader of such and such a company
For example, could we write this? For the example sentence below, a name is to be inserted in parentheses. Thank you in advance for your help.
(name), mother of John Doe, will visit us soon.
