Speaker 1: Commas are punctuation marks that are vital for helping us to be understood correctly.

Speaker 2: (TO OTHER PEOPLE) Can you believe I wrote that on my dating profile?

Speaker 1: Hobbies and interests. 'I like running, swimming, cooking cats and going to clubs.'

I see what you've done there.

(TO AUDIENCE) One missing comma between 'cooking' and 'cats' has completely changed the meaning of what Beth was trying to say.

Speaker 3: (TO OTHER PEOPLE) Look you've got loads of responses.

'Lovely profile but I wouldn't let you anywhere near my pets.'

Speaker 1: (TO AUDIENCE) We use commas when we're trying to list things.

So here Beth has listed her favourite types of music.

'Rock, indie, techno, rap and hip hop.'

They all need a comma between them.

Commas can also be used to help separate different parts, or clauses, of a sentence.

'Although I like travelling, I also really enjoy spending time at home.'

Here the comma separates the two parts of the sentence and, without it, things can get a little confusing.

(SPEAKER 1 ADDS COMMA TO CHALK BOARD WHICH SAYS: Please take care customers, slippery when wet.)

That's better.
