Read the sentence. Trayvon, Julie, and Caleb who are members of the drama club, are auditioning for the school musical on Wednesday. Where should a comma be placed in this sentence?

After Caleb, because the next part of the sentence is showing what the three have in common

Answer: after "Caleb"

In this case, a comma is needed after "Caleb" because the phrase "who are members of the drama club" is an appositive.

An appositive is a phrase which follows a noun or noun phrase and provides further information about it. This phrase is usually unnecessary to the rest of the sentence, and is only included in order to expand on the information of the noun. Appositives are always framed by commas.
