What are the three dots in a sentence to infer continuation of sentence?

The three dots in a sentence to infer continuation are called an ellipsis.

Here's how it works:

* Meaning: An ellipsis indicates that a portion of the text has been omitted. It suggests that the sentence continues, but the writer has chosen not to include the full text for various reasons.

* Examples:

* "I went to the store... and bought some milk."

* "She was so angry... she couldn't speak."

* "The journey was long... and arduous..."

Important Note: Ellipses are often used to create suspense, emphasize certain words, or make the writing more concise.
