paraphrase is to reword a statement so it reads different but says the same thing

When you paraphrase something, you put another person's words into your words but do not take away the point of the person's statement.
Example: "To be, or not to be...that is the question."..written by William Shakespeare.
Paraphrased: A statement was made that someone can become something, or not become something, and it is to be contemplated.
Paraphrasing saves the writer from being charged with stealing someone's words...especially if they have not given credit to the original speaker of the words. If you choose to quote the person, they must be identified. Otherwise, you are charged with plagarism. Paraphrasing actually interprets another person's statements which may be verbal or written.
