"A true poet writes from the language and experiences of their own heart, not those of others." Source
Nowadays plagiarism is seen everywhere ,l think that the first plaigarism done by a person will be copying the assignment from a fellow student to show it as his own work with some little changes in it.
"Plagiarism is not in itself a crime, but like counterfeiting fraud can be punished in a court for prejudices caused by copyright infringement and violation of moral rights." Source
Then what should you do to add someone's work to your work if it's necessary to explain something important or you simply need it to make your work more informative.It's simple you should give credits to that work and cite the source of that work."If you correctly cite the source you do not commit plagiarism." Source
You can also mention which part of your article is used from others work by using quotation marks [" "] . Inorder to get your work free from plagiarism cite the source of everything you used for the research of your work.
