Appositives in Three Cases

Appositives can be in one of the three cases: Nominative Case,

Accusative Case and Genitive Case. An appositive is in the same case as
the noun it refers to or follows. See the following examples.

NOTES

Thomas, a weak student, won a gold medal at university.

The noun ‘student’ is an appositive. And it follows the Proper Noun
‘Thomas’. Thomas is the subject of the verb ‘won’. Therefore, both the
noun and the appositive are in the Nominative Case.
