How many dots are in an ellipsis?
An ellipsis is made of three or four dots, depending on whether is ends a sentence. When an ellipsis is included in the middle of a sentence, it should have three dotsthis is usually done when omitting words from a direct quote. At the end of a sentence, the ellipsis has four dots (I tried to jump over the puddle of slime, but . . . .). When typing an ellipsis, there should be a space between each dot.
