FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS






ARE PARAPHRASING, REWORDING, AND REPHRASING THE SAME THING?

The words paraphrasing, rewording, and rephrasing tend to be used
interchangeably in everyday speech, but they have differences.

Paraphrasing, often used in academia, is the act of taking someone else’s idea
or writing and putting it into your own words. Often this involves summarizing
sentences, but you can also paraphrase paragraphs, essays, articles, or larger
works. No matter what you’re paraphrasing, you’ll need to cite the original
source wherever you use a paraphrase. This will help you avoid plagiarism.

Rewording involves replacing some of the words in a sentence or piece of writing
with synonyms.

Rephrasing implies restructuring or reordering a piece of writing.

You’ll often use rewording and rephrasing when creating a paraphrase.



WHAT IS AN EXAMPLE OF A PARAPHRASE?

Here's an example of a paraphrase. It rewords and rephrases the original text,
and it also includes an in-text citation of the original source.

Original text:

It’s been demonstrated that increasing CO2 levels in a greenhouse environment
changes pea plants’ growth patterns.

Paraphrase:

When carbon dioxide levels are increased in greenhouse conditions, it’s been
shown that pea plants grow differently (Bawa, 2022).



WHAT ARE THE STEPS OF PARAPHRASING?

The easiest, quickest way to create a paraphrase is to use a free paraphrase
generator like the one at the top of this page. To use this paraphrasing tool,
paste in your source text, then click the “Paraphrase it” button. 

If you’d like to write a paraphrase from scratch, first read the original text
closely. Then, convey the ideas expressed in the original text using your own
words. To do this, you can use synonyms, change parts of speech, rearrange
words, remove information, or add a personal take. You’ll likely want to use
several of these tactics in your paraphrase to ensure you avoid plagiarism.

Lastly, you’ll always want to include an in-text citation for the original
source when you’re using a paraphrase within the body of your written work and a
full citation on your bibliography page that corresponds with it.



HOW IS PARAPHRASING DIFFERENT FROM PLAGIARIZING?

Plagiarism is when you use someone else’s ideas in your work without crediting
them via a citation. To avoid unintentional plagiarism, cite the original work
whenever you use a paraphrase. 

Grammarly’s citation tool makes it easy to correctly cite sources so you can
comply with academic and professional guidelines. You can also use Grammarly’s
plagiarism checker to ensure your writing is original. It scans your writing
against academic databases and 90 billion online texts and flags any unoriginal
wording.



IS USING A PARAPHRASING TOOL CONSIDERED CHEATING?

If properly disclosed and cited, using a paraphrasing tool should not be
considered cheating. It’s a helpful way to speed up your work or get inspiration
for writing in your own voice, tone, and style. That said, your teachers may
have different policies about paraphrasing tools. If you’re paraphrasing for
school, check your professor’s policies and credit your source whenever you use
a paraphrase, even one generated by a free paraphrasing tool. Otherwise, you
risk plagiarising. We provide guidance on how to cite a paraphrase below.



WHY ARE CITATIONS AN IMPORTANT ELEMENT OF PARAPHRASING?

Citations are essential to avoiding plagiarism. Anytime you use an idea that’s
not your own, whether you’re quoting or paraphrasing, you need to credit the
original source using a citation style, such as APA, MLA, or Chicago. The type
of citation you should use depends on your course of study and your professor’s
requirements.



HOW DO YOU CITE A PARAPHRASE IN APA, MLA, AND CHICAGO-STYLE FORMATS?

The easiest way to cite is using a free citation tool, like Grammarly’s MLA
Citation Generator, APA Citation Generator, or Chicago Citation Generator.
Simply enter the information for the original source of the paraphrase into the
tool. It will then instantly create the in-text citations you need to place
after a quote or paraphrase in your work; it will also generate the full
citations you need to include in your bibliography, works cited, or references
page (for MLA, APA, and Chicago-style citations, respectively).
