Sentence Rewriter Guide: Rephrase Without Changing the Claim

How to rewrite sentences while preserving subjects, objects, quantities, qualifiers and causal relationships.

Sentence rewriting is deceptively easy to get wrong. A fluent sentence can still change who did what, strengthen a cautious claim, alter a number or introduce causation that was not present.

What must survive the rewrite

• Named entities and roles
• Numbers, dates and units
• Negation
• Uncertainty and qualifiers
• Cause-and-effect relationships

Use a sentence rewriter as a drafting aid, then compare the new sentence with the original proposition.
