Use of Ellipsis and how to space correctly
Posted: 19 Oct 2023, 12:10
What is the difference between three and four period ellipses in modern fiction writing and how are these spaced on a line of writing?
Use a four‐dot ellipsis if you are omitting the last part of a quoted sentence that ends in a period, but the remaining words are still a complete thought. The first dot comes immediately after the sentence and functions as a period. The following three dots are spaced and indicate that material has been omitted.
I hope it helps you.
