Forms in which one can involve in plagiarism

--copying a person work directly word-for-word
--using someone's else phrase, without quoting or citing the source.

HOW TO AVOID PLAGIARISM

1. Cite your source
   When alluding to an idea or wording that’s not your own, add a citation in your writing that identifies the full name of the source, and any other citation element that’s required by the style guide you’re adhering to.

2. Quotation; If you insert a source’s words into your writing, verbatim, one of the most simple yet obvious ways to avoid plagiarism is by using quotation marks around the text to denote that the words aren’t your own. A direct quote should also cite the source so that readers know who the quote is from.
   Example; " Regular egg also reduce your heart disease risk in several ways. Eggs decrease inflammation, improve insulin sensitivity, increase your HDL (good) cholesterol levels and modify the size and shape of your LDL (bad) cholesterol 20Trusted Source"

   PARAPHRASE; Paraphrasing is rewriting a source’s ideas or information into your own words, without changing its meaning. But be careful—paraphrasing can slip into plagiarism if done incorrectly.
