Ellipses (...) are used to indicate doubt or hesitation ("Eu... não sei se devo dizer..."); interruption in an incomplete sentence (Angela disse que não queria, mas...); to prolong an idea (Eu... eu não sei... não sei o que podemos fazer agora...); to show deletion; and in incomplete excerpts of texts or speeches. If the sentence is not complete, the ellipsis can be used in parentheses or square brackets. When the next idea is new, the ellipsis can be followed by capital letters. Otherwise, they must be followed by lowercase letters.
