The ... in a sentence is called an ellipsis (plural ellipses).
It is used to indicate words left out.
Examples:
Lincoln said, "Four score and seven years ago...". The ellipsis indicates that he said more than what I've quoted.
In the next scene he says "...what sounded like a countdown...". In this example, the ellipses show that I have taken a statement from the middle of a quote.
You will see many misuses of ellipsis, such as this answer from another question:
"Yes... you should definitely tell them because it could harm them and maybe even others..."
This was exactly how the answer was written. Many people use ellipses to form sentences instead of using capitalization and correct punctuation. Please don't use ellipses like this.
