DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PARAPHRASING, SUMMARIZING, AND QUOTING
Summarizing- Reviewing everything that you said in your writing into one paragraph.
Quoting- Using someone else's sentence and giving them credit in your writing.
Plagiarism
If you do this when your writing anything you can get in very much trouble. That's why you have to give people credit when you're using there ideas and thoughts. If you want to use someones sentence because you can't say it any better yourself then that's called quoting and you use an in-text citation.
Avoid getting expelled or getting OSS and just cite your resources.
