What is paraphrasing?

Paraphrasing means expressing the meaning of a text using different words while maintaining its original meaning. It is commonly used in academic writing to integrate source material, improve clarity, and avoid plagiarism.

What is the difference between paraphrasing, rewording, and rephrasing?

Paraphrasing focuses on conveying the original message using alternative wording. Rewording involves altering sentence structure. Rephrasing is a broader term that includes both paraphrasing and rewording.
