Answer:
The answer to the statement: you do not have to cite your source if you rewrite the sentence in your own words, would be: false.
Explanation:
The reason for this being the answer is that, even when you are rewriting the words from a source, which is called paraphrasing, you are still using the original ideas from someone else, not your own. Even if you are using your words to communicate those ideas, the original ideas are not yours, you are borrowing them, and therefore, you must always cite your source when you are paraphrasing, just as when you are borrowing some words, or a full sentence.
