Independent elements of the sentences



They are not grammatically dependent on any particular part of the sentence, they refer to the sentence as a whole. There are 2 groups of independent elements:

 

Apposition is a substance modifier of the subject

Anton Chekhov, the famous Russian writer, was born in Taganrog.

 “the famous Russian writer” is an apposition.

5) Direct address is a modifier of the destination of the whole sentence; a name of a person to whom the rest of the sentence is addressed

Mary, look at the blackboard

They can be expressed in different ways

-as a modal verb: Perhaps he loves her

-as an interjection: You like her, eh?

-as a conjunction: Besides, he doesn’t love her

-as a phrase: In my opinion, he loves her

 

Parenthesis is a detached speaker-bound modifier:

-expresses the speaker’s attitude (Oh, I can’t)

-connects the sentence with the preceding or the following one (Finally, I must say…)

-specifies what is said or expresses a comment (Frankly speaking,…)

Interjection is a word used to express an emotion or sentiment on the part of the speaker

"Excuse me!", "Sorry!", "No thank you!", "Oh dear!", "Hey!"
