Is this plagiarism? (1 Viewer)

Say you have a tutor, and he or she teaches your some quotes on your text studied at school, that you should use in your final essay. Is this plagiarism, can you get in trouble for this?
Secondly, say he showed you a sample essay and you saw a contextual idea you like such as 'during the 18th century the conflict between romantism...' and you use his idea with his approval, but do a bit of research on it yourself and then write your OWN contextual sentence? Is this plagiarism?

I really need a serious, if possible, definite answer.

No, not plagiarism.

Can you explain why not?

as in the quotes are from the book? or they're quotes the tutor came up with about the book? if its the second and you take their idea without giving credit then yes it's plagiarism.
second question: no it's not plagiarism because you're developing your own ideas. if you use their idea without recognition it's plagiarism simply put

Only if they catch you hehehehe

If you are paraphasing the idea yourself, than it's fine. Decent paraphasing, like shifting ideas around with your own work into it, not just changing two words.

Technically it is but like they're going to catch you, they have no proof. Unless your tutor finds out and reports it, which I don't see a reason for them to do that.
So you're safe.
