What is plagerism exactly???
If i take sentences from a source and reword them but add the source as a reference/citing does it still count as plagiarism? Or is it only if the source isn’t mentioned in bibliography/in paper?

If you change it and cite it you are changing someone else’s work and citing it inappropriately, better to just use it as written and cite that way there is not problem
Plagiarism is the theft, the unauthorized use or close imitation of the language and thoughts of another author and the representation of them as one’s own original work.

There you go. You’ve got the right idea. You must reference the source in the bibliography or the paper in order to use some one else’s words so people will know you are honest and gave them credit for their work. Good Job. OH You don’t have to change them to quote them and give them credit.

If you add the source as a reference, it is not plagiarism. If you don’t and get credit for your work, it is plagiarism. Usually, the term only refers to something that makes you famous or become popular by stealing from someone else and not acknowledging them.

Basically it’s taking someone else’s work and passing it as your own. In other words simply copying something and saying it’s yours. If you take work and use it as an example for reference purposes then you should state the source so it’s clear that it’s not your work. Changing the wording to disguise the work as copied is also plagiarism.

It all depends. If you’re taking an entire book or article and summarizing it, than it’s not considered plaigarism. Taking a few sentences and just switching words around is considered plaigarism.
Copying something verbatim (or almost so) and then putting it in your references is still plaigarism. Copying something verbatim and then not putting it in your references is not only plaigarism, it’s downright cheating.
The easiest way to avoid plaigarism is to read the book (or whatever media it may be), jot down the main ideas, and use them to write your report.

It is a form of copying another person’s written, copyrighted document or recording. It is illegal and subject to a severe penalty

No, that is not.
Plagiarism is taking, without alteration, someone else’s work (big partsof it) and trying to fob it off as your own
