In English grammar, there are two types of articles; Definite and Indefinite. The two types include three articles i.e., A/ AN and The. While 'the' is termed a definite article, 'a' and 'an' are called indefinite articles. Some examples for both cases can be seen below:
- He is such a sweet baby.
- She has the voice of an angel when she sings.
- The moon looks especially beautiful today.

This is something you will learn with time and practice. Your version should be different in structure but match in meaning. If you can swap your paraphrase back with the original and nothing changes in meaning then it's apt.

No. Paraphrasing is more than synonym replacement. You need to change sentence structure, grammar, and vocabulary while preserving the meaning.

While these AI tools can help, relying solely on them is risky as sometimes it might change the whole meaning and the context as these AI tools change words without maintaining meaning. Manual paraphrasing improves comprehension and learning, also during the examination, you will not get access to AI tools.

There is a valley of difference between the two, as paraphrasing involves restating the original content in a new form while summarizing shortens the content by keeping only the main ideas. Both skills are tested in exams and questions arise from both topics.

To improve your paraphrasing skills you are advised to practice rewriting newspaper articles in your own words, rephrasing headlines, making it crisp, reading more, and using vocabulary apps. Focus on meaning over word-to-word translation and learn active-passive sentence conversion.

Paraphrasing is an important aspect of any competitive exam. In the exam, the questions from paraphrasing are asked to help candidates understand reading comprehension, essay writing, and even summarization tasks. It shows language fluency and ensures you can express the same ideas differently which is an essential skill in exams.

Linking verbs connect the subject to more information about the subject. They do not show action but tell us what something is or how it feels. Example: Shruti is happy. ("is" links "shruti" to "happy")
Helping verbs (also called auxiliary verbs) are used with main verbs to show tense, voice, or mood. They help form questions, negatives, and other verb tenses. Example: She is running fast. ("is" helps the verb "running")
