Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Paraphrasing means 'to state something written or spoken in different words, especially in a shorter and simpler form to make the meaning clearer. A paraphrase always uses unique wording, something you come up with that's different from the original source.

Words can be grouped together, but without a subject or a verb. This is called a phrase. Because a phrase has neither subject nor verb, it can't form a 'predicate'.

A group of words that form a meaning, generally an incomplete clause and part of a sentence. A paraphrase is essentially a short summary of an exact quote.
