In 1-2 sentences, explain how to use an apostrophe to show possession for singular and plural nouns and to form contractions. help!!!!
Oh, ellipsis, the dramatic pause of punctuation. In this case, the ellipsis is used to indicate an omission since it skips over the specific details of what happened during those two years before the trial. Maybe some intense courtroom shenanigans occurred, who knows?
The ellipsis in the paragraph is used to indicate an omission. It replaces the part of the sentence that provides specific information about the case and focuses only on the time duration, suggesting that some information has been left out.
In this paragraph, the ellipsis is used to indicate an omission rather than a pause. The original sentence seems to have been shortened, omitting specific details about what happened during the two-year period leading up to the trial and verdict being reached in court.
Since it’s in a quotation, I’d take it as an omission.
