Question
read this text. on may 12, 1901, connecticut became the first state with speed limits when it passed a law limiting motor vehicles to a speed of twelve miles per hour in cities and fifteen miles per hour on country roads. is this an appropriate use of an ellipsis? \on may 12, 1901, connecticut... passed a law limiting motor vehicles to a speed of twelve miles per hour in cities and fifteen miles per hour on country roads.\ yes no, because the text with an ellipsis is no longer grammatically correct
An ellipsis is used to indicate an omission. In the original text, "became the first state with speed limits when it" is omitted. However, when using an ellipsis, the resulting sentence should still be grammatically correct. The sentence with the ellipsis "On May 12, 1901, Connecticut... passed a law..." is grammatically correct as "Connecticut" is the subject and "passed" is the verb.
