Grammar Certains verbes sont parfois associés à une particule (on / off / out / up / along / …). Cette association permet de compléter ou de modifier le sens du verbe. La particule se place toujours après le verbe. Ce processus est assez fréquent en Anglais. Lorsque l’on conjugue le verbe, la particule adverbiale reste invariable, on ne la conjugue pas.
