plagiarism is the act of studying, copying, pasting, passing someone's labour and claimed it or taking them as there own, even eating the person's glory without crediting them.

   I want to explain them one after the other.............

• DIRECT PLAGIARISM:- is when a writer write almost every word (sentence) from another author's idea and tries to claim them as his or her own without using quotation marks.
