Punctuating Quotations, 2
When using ellipses at the end of quotations, do we put spaces before the ellipses?
What I mean is, which of the following is most correct?
She said, "I'm not too sure...."
or
She said, "I'm not too sure ...."
Also, how ellipsis spaced in between a conversation?
Which is correct:
She said, "Well, that depends...on many things."
or
She said, "Well, that depends ... on many things."
Thanks in advance!
