ellipese, Commas, and dash

This is my paragraph

ellipses, and dashes are punctuation marks that help clarify and enhance writing. Commas are used to separate items in a list, set off introductory elements, or separate clauses in a sentence. For example, in the sentence "I bought apples, oranges, and bananas," commas separate the items in the list. Ellipses are three dots (...) used to indicate a pause, an unfinished thought, or the omission of words in a quote. They can create suspense or show that something has been left out. Dashes are longer lines (—) used to add emphasis, set off additional information, or indicate a sudden change in thought.
