Particle

A particle is a category of words

A particle is a word that is not a verb, noun, pronoun, adverb, conjunction, preposition, or article. However, a particle often does something like an adverb or a conjunction.

Particles do not change their form.

How can a particle be used in a sentence?

  • Some particles can negate something. They are often translated as not or no.
  • Some particles can help connect words or groups of words.
  • Some particles can show that the speaker or writer wanted someone to pay attention to what has just been said or written.
  • Some particles can intensify what was just said or written.
  • Some particles are not translated.
