Topic : Modifiers
Which one is correct out of the following two sentences and why?
- Ian , a hot tempered tennis player charged the umpire and tried to crack the poor man’s skull with a racket.
- A hot tempered tennis player , Ian charged the umpire and tried to crack the poor man’s skull with a racket .
the first one needs a comma after “player” to separate out the modifier. But otherwise, I can’t see a difference.
