How to use "Particular" in context?
Every word has a specific meaning in the English language, and this is especially true for the word "particular." When used in a sentence, "particular" can have two primary meanings. The first meaning is exclusive, and refers to something that is just for that person or situation. The second meaning is specific, and refers to something that is unique to that person or situation. When used in this context, "particular" can be used to refer to either the quality or the thing itself. For example, "I'm particular about the food I eat" means that the person is extremely particular about the type of food that they eat.
