1.5.9 Ellipses

In this lesson, we will explore ellipses, which are a series of three dots (…) used in writing to show that something has been left out, to create a pause, or to indicate unfinished thoughts. Ellipses help create suspense, show hesitation, or indicate that part of a quotation has been omitted. Using ellipses correctly adds style and meaning to writing, helping readers understand tone or incomplete ideas.
