express meaning in different words
To say or write something again in different words, but keep the same meaning.
Модель употребления:
to paraphrase [something]
Частая ошибка:
Learners often confuse 'paraphrase' with 'summarize'. A paraphrase keeps all or almost all of the original meaning and length but changes the words, while a summary is much shorter and includes only the main points. Another common mistake is paraphrasing by changing only a few words; this is usually not considered a true paraphrase and can still count as copying.

restatement in different words
A text or sentence that says the same thing as another one, but with different words.
Модель употребления:
a paraphrase of [something]
Частая ошибка:
Learners sometimes use 'paraphrase' when they mean 'summary'. A paraphrase is usually about the same length as the original and keeps almost all details. A summary is much shorter. Learners may also think any change of two or three words is enough to make a paraphrase; in most academic or test contexts, a good paraphrase has most of the wording changed while still keeping the meaning.
Синонимы
restatement (More general word; does not always suggest simpler or clearer language.)

rewording (Very close in meaning but slightly more informal and less academic than 'paraphrase'.)
Антонимы
quotation (A quotation repeats the original words exactly, while a paraphrase changes the wording but keeps the meaning.)
