Elliptical Sentence

The document discusses three types of elliptical sentences: 1. Positive elliptical sentences that use words like "too", "so", "either", and "both" to connect two related clauses without repeating the verb. 2. Negative elliptical sentences that use words like "either" and "neither" to connect two negative clauses without repeating the verb or auxiliary. 3. Positive-negative elliptical sentences that use the word "but" to contrast a positive clause with a negative clause related by the same verb without repeating it. These allow the verb or auxiliary to be different between the clauses.
