Paraphrase academic text properly — changing structure and vocabulary while keeping the original meaning.
Read the passage 2-3 times. Close the original. Write what you remember in your own words. This is the gold standard of paraphrasing.
If the original starts with the subject, start with a dependent clause. If it's one long sentence, break into two. Structural change > word swapping.
Use our Text Rewriter with 'Academic' style to suggest alternative phrasings. Don't just swap individual words — restructure entire phrases.
After rewriting, check: Does my version still say the same thing? Paraphrasing that changes the meaning is worse than quoting directly.
Check your rewritten text to ensure it reads naturally and doesn't flag as potentially problematic.
