Grammar behind ending an utterance with 思って I have been unable to identify the grammar point in the following sentence in bold. > **** ••• Is it the form? (If so, why is it shortened? Cannot find anything to it) Or is it something entirely else?

In informal conversation,

> {}{}{} **** •••

can mean at least **two very different things** if no further context is given.

1) As a reply to a why-question as in "Because ~~~". This is a common usage of ending a sentence (hanging) with .

> "Because (I thought) I wanted to go with ...."

2) As a hanging sentence with the whole main clause left unsaid.

> "Thinking I would rather go with , **I .....** "

By "hanging sentence", I am **not** referring to a type of death penalty.
