Ellipsis


Ellipsis (…) is used when we need to omit some words/phrases/paragraphs from a quoted text.

Ex.:
Original Sentence: “Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws.” (Plato)
After Using Ellipsis: “Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly….” (Plato)
