Assalamualaikum and Hello..I'm sorry because a bit late updating my blog about my previous lecture and tutorial. The thing is..we are very busy with assignments and presentations for all subjects for this semester. So today, I will share about the topic that I learned 2 weeks ago. It is "Ellipsis".
What is Ellipsis?
Ellipsis is actually the omission from speech or writing of a word or words that are superfluous or able to be understood from contextual clues.
We also used (...) three dots to show that words have been omitted from a quotation or to create a pause for effect. More specifically, an ellipsis can be used:
- To show an omission of a word or words (including whole sentences) from a text.
- To create a pause for effect.
- To show an unfinished thought.
- To show a trail off into silence.

The omission occur/ words can be abbreviated when a sentence:
1) Have the same subject.
By nine o'clock, they had washed their hands and they had eaten their lunch.
By nine o'clock, they had washed their hands and ... eaten their lunch.
2) Repeated objects
We gave food to everyone and water to everyone.
We gave food ... and water to everyone.
3) Repeated prepositional phrase
I lived in Rome and studied in Rome for a year.
I lived ... and studied in Rome for a year.
5) Repeated adjectives
