No. Plagiarism is copying someone else's words or ideas and claiming them as your own, so it is a form of dishonesty.

There are cases where you can use someone else's words or ideas that are legally acceptable, but the key is ... you can never say that they are *your* words or ideas.

The best way to avoid plagiarism is to identify clearly in your writing when you are quoting someone else, and when you are stating your opinion. That is what in text citations are for, and a good mastery of the use of quotation marks is also helpful.
