Definition: Paraphrase refers to a verbal communication or writing that rephrases the original statement without altering its meaning or tone. It requires careful attention to detail, as paraphrasing can often alter the original text's tone or focus in ways that do not convey the intended message. Paraphrages are also used in literature to enrich and expand on existing texts by changing the content without altering the reader's understanding of the original text. In English language, a paraphrase is typically characterized by its use of the same words, phrases, or sentences as the original text, while maintaining the intended meaning and tone of the original. This can sometimes be challenging in non-English-speaking contexts where there may not be a clear definition for "same" or "rephrasing."

Definition: "Paraphrase, paraphrased" is a verb that can refer to both literal paraphrasing as in "I didn't say I wouldn't go but my roommate said so," and the process by which an original statement or phrase is reformatted or rephrased for clarity or conciseness. The word 'paraphrase' means to rephrase something, often a long sentence. This verb can be used when someone has written down something in one way and wants it rewritten in another. The term 'paraphrased' suggests that the original statement is not exactly the same as what you wrote down but is similar or coherent. Paraphrasing can also refer to rewriting passages for clarity, such as paraphrasing a literary work into an accessible format. For example, someone might paraphrase a novel's dialogue into a readable paragraph or sentence structure to make it easier to read and understand. The process of paraphrasing involves changing the words in a sentence from its original form to match another new version of that same sentence. This can be done by editing out unnecessary phrases, inserting synonyms where appropriate, or simply rewriting the sentence entirely. Paraphrasing is often used as part of creative writing to break up long blocks of text and make it easier for readers to understand. Paraphrased means rephrased in this context, so paraphrase could also be thought of as "paraphrased" but more specifically means rewritten or revised.
