The correct way to use ellipses is to indicate when something has been left out. They are mostly used when quoting something. For example: The question asked, "How do you use...correctly?"
You will use ellipses mostly when using other people's writing to back up your own argument. If you want to quote a sentence, but you only like the first part and the last part, not the middle, then you can use ellipses to indicate that you have not quoted the middle part.
