What is paraphrasing?

Paraphrasing is the act of rephrasing or restating someone else's ideas or information in your own words while retaining the original meaning. It involves expressing the same concept or message using different words and sentence structures. Paraphrasing is commonly used in academic writing, research papers, essays, and other forms of communication to avoid plagiarism and to present information in a clearer or more concise manner.

  4. Avoid using the same phrases or sentences.
  5. Retain the same meaning as the original text.
