Is Paraphrasing Considered Plagiarism?

Paraphrasing—rewriting someone else’s ideas in your own words—is not plagiarism as long as you give proper credit to the original source through citation or attribution. 
However, if you paraphrase too closely to the original text (e.g., only changing a few words) or fail to acknowledge the source, it can still be considered plagiarism, even unintentionally.
