What is a "particle"?
In linguistics, a particle is a small word that does not change form and is used to express a grammatical function rather than a specific meaning. Particles can help modify or clarify the role of other words in a sentence. In English, examples of particles include words like "to" in "to go" or "not" in "do not." Particles do not fit easily into other word categories like nouns, verbs, or adjectives, and they usually provide grammatical context, helping to form phrases, indicate negation, or show relationships between words.
Example
In the phrasal verb ' look up, ' ' up ' is a particle that changes the meaning of the verb ' look.'
En el verbo frasal 'look up', 'up' es una partícula que cambia el significado del verbo 'look'.
She carefully explained the function of each particle in the phrasal verb ' break down.
Ella explicó cuidadosamente la función de cada partícula, elemento gramatical en el verbo frasal 'break down.'
