Explain how the use of commas changes the meaning in the two sentences.

Trains, which can go faster than cars, are really useful.

Trains which can go faster than cars are really useful.

Example answer: The first sentence uses commas to say two things: that trains are really useful, and that trains can go faster than cars. The second sentence means that trains that can go faster than cars are really useful but it doesn’t tell us anything about slower trains.Award 1 mark for an explanation of the meaning of both sentences. Also accept responses that are not written in full sentences. Do not accept responses that explain only one sentence. Do not accept responses that discuss the function of the commas without fully explaining the effect on the meaning, e.g. ‘There are commas in the first sentence so those words aren’t important.’
