A paraphrase typically explains or clarifies the text that is being paraphrased. For example, "The signal was red" might be paraphrased as "The train was not allowed to proceed."

For example, in "The signal was red, that is, the train was not allowed to proceed," the "that is" signals the paraphrase that follows. A verbum dicendi (or declaratory word) is a word that expresses speech, introduces a quotation, or marks a transition to non-standard or non-grammatical speech. ...
