Antecedent-contained deletion

Antecedent-contained deletion is a way of speaking that leaves out some words but still makes sense. For example, if we wanted to say "I am going to the store to buy some apples", we could say "Going to the store for apples" and everyone would understand what we meant, even though some words were left out. This is an example of antecedent-contained deletion.
