Paraphrase • Identify the verbs• Identify the nouns• Break into basic grammatical units (simple subject-verb
object sentences)• Find synonyms for the verbs, then decide whether the
nouns are technical (use as is) or nontechnical (findsynonyms)
• Link the simple sentences back into complex sentencesby paraphrasing the relationship terms.
