Plagiarism involves passing off another's work as your own by copying their ideas, words, or concepts without giving them proper credit. It is wrong because it misleads others into believing the ideas were original to you when in fact they came from someone else. To avoid plagiarism, one should cite sources using internal citations within the paper and a works cited page, give credit to original authors, and only use common knowledge or uniquely phrased ideas without attribution. Proper citation and attribution demonstrates respect for other authors and allows readers to verify sources.

6. INTERNAL CITATION
This is used to give credit to the original author by
citing their words/ideas in your paper.

7. WORKS CITED PAGE
Also known as a bibliography or reference list, comes
at the end of your paper listing all the works you’ve
quoted.

8. COMMON KNOWLEDGE
This does not need internal citation in the paper,
common knowledge is something considered a well-established
fact.

others in a specific genre.

10. CONCLUSION
By avoiding plagiarism we are not saying we should stop
getting information from the Internet or any other sources,
we should give credit to those who came up with those
ideas first by using the tips already mentioned. We should
not take without permission what is not ours.
