Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Some students believe that it is only necessary to cite a source if they use a direct quote. Not true! Putting someone else’s idea into your own words does not turn it into your own work. You must give the original author credit even when you paraphrase.
Detailed explanation-2: -ALWAYS CITE, in the following cases: When you quote two or more words verbatim, or even one word if it is used in a way that is unique to the source.
Detailed explanation-3: -You’ll often use direct quotes in the middle of a paragraph. Use double quotation marks at the beginning and end of the quote, use the exact words from the original text and show your source, or your work being could be considered as plagiarism.
