A participle is the "Ing" or "En" form of a verb. Also known as Present and Past Progressive, these forms of the verb express continued action in the present or the past. Participles can be paired with a form of the verb "be" or "have" to function as the main verb in a sentence, or they can be used alone as Adjectival or Adverbial modifiers.
Look out though! The "Ing" form of verbs can also function as nouns. In that case they are no longer participles but are known as Gerunds.
Appositives are phrases that serve to rename a previously named noun. If I were to talk about Barrack Obama as a person but mention also that he is President, I might say...
"Barrack Obama, President of the United States, is an avid Basketball fan." The noun "President" along with it's modifier "of the United States" is the appositive phrase.
