What is the vocative?
is the recipient (or recipients) of the message of a sentence, as not part of this, it is included, but always with commas.
1 .- Mary, do me the favor of sending this letter to Madrid. (Good)
Maria do me the favor of sending this letter to Madrid. (Mal)
If we remove the sentence would remain the same: "Do please send this letter to Madrid"
The vocative is used in dialogues, speeches, greetings, etc.
2. Hi, Sophie, please solve my doubt. (Good) * Hi Sofia
please solve my doubt. (Mal)
3. Dear friends, we are gathered today to ... (well)
* Dear friends we are gathered today to ... (bad)
4. You know, brave soldiers, how they love their country. (Good) * You know
brave soldiers how to love their country. (Mal)
