Ms. Sue · Answer

No.

Nope, Plagiarism is copying everything word from word, taking their work.

Hugo is partly right. https://www.google.com/search?q=define%20plagiarism

Ms. Sue · Answer

But just changing 1 or 3 words out of 10 does not avoid plagiarism. http://www.plagiarism.org/article/what-is-plagiarism

Thanks @Writeacher :D

Wes · Answer

Ok and one more question. Is the sentence structure the same? Because my English teaches will count it as plagiarism if the two are similar

Hugo :D · Answer

@Ms. sue is right, if you see a really good idea just try to put it fully in your words! I do that sometimes @wes

Writeacher · Answer

Hugo, that’s called paraphrasing. Did you read what either Ms. Sue or I posted above? Wes should read several of those articles, too.

No, that would not be considered plagiarism. Plagiarism is the act of copying someone else's work, ideas, or words without giving proper credit or citation. In the situation you described, if you paraphrased or rephrased the information from the source in your own words, it is not plagiarism. However, it is still important to give credit to the original source by including a citation or acknowledging where the information came from.
