@iamthatenglishteacher: Do you know when to use commas with an appositive? In this quick review, I explain how an appositive renames or identifies a noun and when it should be set apart with commas. If the information is nonessential and the sentence still makes sense without it, use commas around the appositive. Follow along and test your comma skills! #GrammarLesson #CommaRules #Appositives #EnglishTeacher #commas

Actually, Either Wal-Mart or Walmart is correct as they’ve used both throughout the years. Wal Mart, however has never been official.

Would it be ok to use a colon after teacher instead of a comma?

I don’t think that’s correct because Miss James is essential. You would only remove it if it was not essential.

MsJames :
A colon would not be appropriate. A colon generally follows a complete independent clause and introduces an explanation, example, or list. Here, Ms. James renames my teacher, so it is an appositive, not information introduced by a colon.

I would say you would not use commas because Ms. James is providing essential information about which teacher you specifically saw at Walmart. Commas are only used with unessential appositives. Instead I’d say I saw Ms. James, my teacher, at the local Walmart. This would work because my teacher is additional information and not essential to understanding who was seen.

Did you know… Walmart’s formal legal name when it incorporated in 1969 was Wal-Mart, Inc. It changed its name to Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. in 1970 and kept that name in place until 2018(ish). Now it is Walmart.

We call these “non restrictive elements” through benchmark advance curriculum. Is this the correct correlation? It simply means it’s just extra info we don’t need. If we remove it the sentence still makes sense.

Walmart used to have a hyphen both in their logo and their legal name; Not anymore though.
