What are the 11 rules of grammar?
The eleven rules of grammar are as follows:
1. Capitalization: Always capitalize first word of a sentence, proper nouns, and other important words in titles.
2. Punctuation: Use periods, commas, question marks, and other appropriate marks to express meaning and create emphasis.
3. Subject-Verb Agreement: Use the correct verb form to agree with the subject.
4. Fragments: Make sure each sentence has a subject and verb.
5. Tenses: Use the correct tense to express time and action.
6. Pronouns: Use pronouns to refer to nouns and make sentences more concise.
7. Possessives: Use possessive forms of nouns and pronouns to express ownership.
8. Modifiers: Place modifiers correctly to ensure that the intended meaning is conveyed.
9. Parallelism: Use parallel construction when combining related words, phrases, or clauses.
10. Spelling: Make sure to spell words correctly.
11. Usage: Make sure to use the appropriate word for the context.
What is 3 dots called?
The three dots (…) are officially known as an ellipsis, but also sometimes referred to as a suspension point, point of ellipsis, periods of ellipsis, or colloquially, “dot-dot-dot”. An ellipsis can act as a “pause” within a sentence or indicate that a sentence is incomplete or that a thought is unfinished.
An ellipsis can also be used to show an omission of some kind. For example, when quoting someone, if you need to omit a part of the quote, you can use an ellipsis to indicate that part has been left out.
In addition, the three dots can be used to show a trailing off thought—like the sentence started but never finished.
What are the 3 dots after a sentence called?
The three dots after a sentence are called an ellipsis (or “ellipses” in its plural form). An ellipsis is a punctuation mark consisting of three dots that indicates an intentional omission of a word, phrase, line, paragraph or more from a text.
Ellipses are used in writing to indicate a pause, an unfinished thought, a leading statement, a mild interruption, or an trailing thought. They can also be used to indicate an unfinished list, or to show a hesitant or uncertain tone.
Ellipses can also be used to replace a figure of speech. In informal writing, ellipses are sometimes used to create an effect of suspense, or to imply an unspoken thought or unasked question.
