Exercise 7. Ask students the following question:

- What is ellipsis?

Ellipsis means:

a)the omission from a sentence or other construction of one or more

words that would complete or clarify the construction, as the omission of who

are, while I am, or while we are from I like to interview people sitting down.

b)the omission of one or more items from a construction in order to avoid

repeating the identical or equivalent items that are in a preceding or following

construction, as the omission of been to Paris from the second clause of I’ve

been to Paris, but they haven’t.

Elicit the answers and let students make up their own examples. Let them

share the examples with the whole class.
