Preposition for "rewrite/rephrase/paraphrase"
I always struggle with prepositions. I am not sure which preposition goes with "rewrite/rephrase/paraphrase". For example,
(1) If you rewrite your original essay to this new version, you will get a low mark.
(2) If you rephrase your original question to this new one, you will get better responses.
(3) If you paraphrase the sentences to these new ones, you can avoid plagiarism.
I am not sure if "to" is the correct preposition. Please help me. Thanks a lot.
