Notes
1. "Marquis" is an appositive to "Monsieur" which itself is an appositive to "you." For more about appositives, see KISS Level 5.4 - Appositives.
2. This "sir" functions as Direct Address. See KISS Level 2.3.
3. This understood "you" is the focus of KISS Level 2.1.1. Praise the students who get it here.
