Ellipsis is an English punctuation mark with the symbol “.”. An ellipsis is three evenly spaced dots, which indicates an incomplete thought or omission of some words. These three dots show that the sentence has been left incomplete deliberately.

For example: I am not sure what to do … I think we should take a break.
