@ -5,12 +5,12 @@ In some languages, phrases that modify a noun can be used with the noun for two
Some languages use a comma to mark the difference between making a distinction between similar items and gving more information about an item. Without the comma, the sentence below communicates that it is making a distinction:
* "Mary gave some of the food to <u>her sister who was very thankful</u>.
* Mary gave some of the food to <u>her sister who was very thankful</u>.
* If her sister was usually thankful, the phrase "who was thankful" could **distinguish this sister** of Mary's from another sister who was not usually thankful.
With the comma, the sentence is giving more information:
* "Mary gave some of the food to <u>her sister, who was very thankful</u>."
* Mary gave some of the food to <u>her sister, who was very thankful</u>.
* This same phrase can be used give us more information about Mary's sister. It tells us about **how Mary's sister responded** when Mary gave her the food. In this case it does not distinguish one sister from another sister.
