Paraphrasing is a literal translation of somebody else’s words into your own. You have to translate all nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs. Plus, you have to change the sentence structure. You do not to translate the coordinating conjunctions (but, or, yet, so, for, and, nor,) or prepositions (words that give us a sense of time, place, direction, or condition,) or the articles (a, an, the.) You have to cite your paraphrase after you have translated it because you are still using the original writer’s thoughts. Now anything can be paraphrased, but not everything should be. If by paraphrasing you make the ideas clearer to your audience, then you should paraphrase. If the paraphrase makes it more difficult for your reader to understand, then you should quote it. The cow jumped over the moon. Bovine, cattle Leapt, skipped, flew, hopped, bounded Luna, lunar satellite, the big ball of cheese in the sky, Above the lunar body bounded the bovine. YOU MUST CITE YOUR PARAPHRASES. Your paraphrase will be as long as, if not longer than, your original source
