Grammar point: Apposition and commas (part 1)
At C1, you'll encounter sophisticated ways to attach extra identity and status, especially in formal and academic Spanish. One such example is the explanatory apposition, the «aposición explicativa». This advanced construction places a second noun phrase beside a head noun and frames it with commas, adding detail that is incidental rather than defining.
