Language, the most effective way of communication among people, is structured in different ways meet the need at the moment of communication. The same feelings or thoughts can be expressed in different ways due to different factors such as the user and receiver's ability to use the language, experience and intention. Sometimes avoiding repetition, the principle of least effort, thinking that the recipient knows something or will complete it correctly, and sometimes the intention to change the emphasis in the sentence results in the formation of elliptical structures in the sentences. The subject we are discussing in this article is an ellipsis model that appears in sentences where de- is the predicate of the main clause. In some sentences whose predicate is de-, some parts of the reported statements, when they are the objects of sentences, could be used both before and after the predicate. The aim of this article is to draw attention to the fact that in the sentences where de- is the predicate and the reported statements are the objects and separated by a period, comma or a semicolon, the words that are regarded predicate are, indeed, are not the predicates of such sentences.
