The ellipsis in the paragraph is used to indicate an omission, as it trails off where a thought or list may have continued. The absence of text suggests that there is more information that the writer chose not to include.

To show possession for singular nouns, you add an apostrophe followed by the letter "s" (e.g., "the dog's bone"), while for plural nouns that already end in "s," you place the apostrophe after the "s" (e.g., "the dogs' park"). For contractions, an apostrophe replaces the omitted letters, such as in "don't" for "do not."
