You might have noticed already, but appositives are always surrounded by commas (,). Is the appositive below correct? The Navajo, a group of codetalkers were useful in the 1940s.

No, there should be a comma after "codetalkers"

No, there should be no comma before "a group"

Yes, the sentence is completely correct.

Remember the appositive adds detail. If it is essential information, no commas are needed. Make sure whatever you see as the appositive is the add on not the important information.

My mom, a nurse, drives a red car.

My mom, a nurse drives a red car.

My mom a nurse drives a red car.

Identify the appositive: An enormous man with great strength, Henry was able to carry the entire pallet of bricks by himself.

An enormous man with great strength
