3. A question mark is placed at the end of a complex sentence if the question is contained in both the main and subordinate clauses or only in the main clause, for example: Would you like to know what kind of battles there are?(L. Tolstoy); How can I allow him to be hungry or not dressed?(A. Ostrovsky).
4. A question mark is placed at the end of a complex sentence if subordinate clause contains a direct question, for example: All kinds of violations, evasions, deviations from the rules made him despondent, although, it would seem, why should he care?(Chekhov).

   Note.

Tolstoy); You didn't tell us why you don't go to school(Fedin). Placing a question mark after a sentence with an indirect question occurs if the latter contains a strongly expressed interrogative intonation, for example: I don't understand what you need?(Chekhov); I asked how he became a hermit?(Bitter).

§ 78. Ellipsis

1. An ellipsis is used to indicate the incompleteness of a statement caused by various reasons, to indicate breaks in speech, an unexpected transition from one thought to another, etc., for example: In the department... but it’s better not to say in which department(Gogol); Here I am... I’ll get better, I’ll... carry you through!(Bitter); Dubrovsky was silent... Suddenly he raised his head, his eyes sparkled, he stamped his foot, pushed the secretary away...(Pushkin).
2. An ellipsis at the beginning of the text indicates that the narrative, interrupted by some insertion, continues or that a lot of time has passed between the events described in the previous text and in this one.

   Note. About placing ellipses in quotations.

Let's look at the cases in which a period is put. In fact, there are not so many of them, so it won’t be difficult to figure it out.

Rules for placing a point

1. A period is placed at the end of a complete narrative sentence, both incomplete and complete. For example: “On the morning of the next day, our army moved forward. On the eastern side of Arzrum there was a Turkish army. Our regiments moved towards it, responding to the Turkish fire with music and drumming. We walked proudly and did not retreat back under the pressure of the enemy.”
2. A period can also be placed in order to give expressiveness to the story, make it brighter, and emphasize the description. For example: “The waters flowed quietly. The sky grew dark. The sun was setting.”
3. A period is placed before the conjunctions a, but, and, however, etc., if they are not connected into one whole sentence, but begin an independent sentence. For example: “A month before Christmas, our doctor arrived. And we again argued in the evenings, playing billiards.”
4. A period is placed after a sentence that introduces further presentation, if the latter is a detailed narrative, reasoning or description. For example: “And it all happened like this. Nezhdanov, getting into the cart with Pavel, suddenly became very excited.”
5. The period is placed after the quotation marks. A period is not allowed before closing quotation marks. For example: “He began to instruct me on the “true path.”.”
6. It is important to remember when to put a period and when not to put one. The period should not be at the end of the sentence after the period, which indicates an abbreviation of the word. There should not be two periods in a row at the end of a sentence. For example: “My brother told me stories from his life about love, jealousy, separation, sadness, etc.”

A period is needed in writing in order to convey the full meaning of the text. The period liked the place at the end of the sentence, because that’s where it’s usually found. To put a period correctly, you need to find the end of the sentence, and this is not always as easy as it seems. After all, at the end of a sentence there may also be a question mark and an exclamation mark. When you are going to punctuate a sentence, you need to take this into account.

In Russian, depending on the type of sentence for the purpose of the statement or tone and emotional coloring offers There may be different punctuation marks.

Dot

Dot is placed at the end of a complete declarative sentence: Autumn has come. Today is my friend's birthday. However, additional dot not put at the end offers after the period indicating the abbreviation of the word. Besides, dot is placed at the end of the incentive offers, if pronounced without an exclamation: Don't be upset, Tanyusha.

Ellipsis

Ellipsis put to indicate the incompleteness of a statement caused by various reasons, to indicate breaks in speech, an unexpected transition from one thought to another:

In the department... but it’s better not to say in which department...

Dubrovsky was silent... Suddenly he raised his head, his eyes sparkled, he stamped his foot, pushed the secretary away...
