Grammar
ellipsis or not??
Hello! I would like to ask you whether the sentence contains the sequence of ellipted elements or if only ellipsis of subject and auxiliary is involved at the beginning. It’ll drain the power that’s in you (It’ll) Make you plead and (it'll make you) scream and (it'll make you) crawl Thank you for any response!:-) Petra

Only the first bracketed "It'll" is necessary for grammatical completeness. The others are unnecessary since a subject can take multiple verbs separated by "and". I am assuming that a new sentence effectively begins at "(It'll) Make".
