The ellipsis is used to indicate a pause or an omission in a sentence.

An ellipsis is used in writing to indicate a pause or omission, to show where a thought ends, or to indicate a change in subject. It is represented by three evenly spaced dots (...) and is often used in quotations or in dialogue to indicate that something has been intentionally left out or to create a pause in the text. For example, if I wanted to quote a sentence but omit some words in the middle, I could use an ellipsis to indicate the omission: "The secret to success is... hard work." In this case, the ellipsis shows that there is more to the sentence but it has been omitted for brevity. So, an ellipsis is used when you want to convey a pause, omission, or indicate the end of a thought or a change in subject.
