What is bet?
The bet is a accessory term of prayer. Therefore, he accompanies nouns, pronouns or verbs. It has the role of specifying, explaining, indicating, commenting or summarizing:
Marie van Brittan Brown, american inventor, was born in 1922.
Candeia, Cartola and Chico Buarque, all are Brazilian composers.
In the first statement, the bet “American inventor” explains who Marie van Brittan Brown is. In the second statement, “todos” is a bet that summarizes, condenses, in a single word, the elements “Candeia”, “Cartola” and “Chico Buarque”.

Paris, capital of france, is one of the best known cities in Europe.
enumerative bet

distributive bet
Distributes elements related to a sentence term:

circumstantial bet
Indicates a circumstance (time, place, etc.):
Elected, did not keep its promises.*
spec bet
Specifies, individualizes, a generic term:
My friend disappeared in the month Of april.
In this case, “April” specifies which month the speaker is referring to. Note that the expression “April” does not qualify the noun “month”. Therefore, do not get confused with a adnominal adjunct.
prayer bet
Observation on the fact expressed in the sentence or term that condenses a sentence:
Every day, resist getting out of bed, sign of possible depression.
She knew she was wrong, O That made her reevaluate her choices.
Differences between appositive and vocative
O vocativeit is a call or call and configures itself in an independent element, since it is not related to any term of the sentence:
Beatriz, do not leave your tennis lying in the room!
The bet is dependent on one or more terms of the sentence:
My wife, renowned scientist, was nominated for a Nobel Prize.
In the examples above, the vocative “Beatriz” is a call, therefore it does not depend on any sentence term. The expression “renowned scientist” is directly related to the subject "my wife".

How many brides were left to marry
That you should be ours, oh sea!

You have to go beyond pain.

But in him it mirrored the sky.

Note
*The existence of the circumstantial bet is problematic and causes divergences, as shown by Márcia Teixeira Nogueira (PhD in Linguistics), in her text Border indeterminacies of apposition: the so-called circumstantial apposition: “According to Epifânio da Silva Dias, such a bet is used when one intends to express ‘time, hypothesis, concession, cause, comparison, or under which respect the person or thing is considered’. Grammarians like Brandão and Bechara also identify such constructions as appositive, even when they are preceded by preposition, conjunction or adverb. On the other hand, other scholars of the Portuguese language, such as Kehdi, prefer to analyze such an expression as adverbial clauses with an elliptical verb, or even as adjuncts. Some grammarians, such as Gama Kury, choose to analyze such structures as circumstantial predicates of adverbial clauses with a nominal predicate.”
