Particularly vs in particular
Hello Would you please tell me the difference between particularly and in particular? Thanks a lot.

Particularly and in particular are synonyms, but not always interchangeable. The latter is an idiomatic expression, and it is usually offset by a comma in a sentence. Particularly doesn't need to be offset by a comma.
