Elliptical sentences atau ellipsis adalah bentuk kalimat yang disederhanakan dengan cara menggabungkan dua kalimat menjadi satu kalimat. Penggabungan itu dilakukan dengan cara menghilangkan salah satu unsur kalimat yang sama dari kalimat 1 dan kalimat 2.
Kalimat ellipsis ini bisa dibentuk jika:
* Kedua kalimat memiliki unsur kalimat yang sama. (Unsur kalimat; Subject, Predicate, Object/Complement)
* Kedua kalimat menggunakan tenses yang sama, dengan pola predikat yang sama. Bila tensesnya sama, tetapi pola predikatnya berbeda, kedua kalimat tidak bisa disederhanakan dengan pola ellipsis.
Contoh: He is at home. (P = to be)
I go home. (P = Verb)
