Verb phrase is the verb plus the object if any. In "Kevin kicked the ball" "kicked the ball" is the verb phrase.

A noun phrase appositive is a noun phrase (noun plus determiner and/or adjectives and/or prepositional phrases that modify the noun) that means the same thing as the subject and modifies it. It is set off with commas.

In "My friend, Kevin, kicked the ball" Kevin is the appositive, but in "Kevin, my very best friend, kicked the ball" Kevin is the subject and "my very best friend" is the appositive.
