paraphrasing involves putting a text or passage in your own words and summarizing is putting the main idea or important parts in your own words

Answer:

When you summarize you squeeze out all the important details and mention them briefly.

When you paraphrase you take a sentence (or any text) and put it in your own words.

Step-by-step explanation:

summarize = brief-ify

paraphrase = reword
