Looking to get a timeout/wait command in linux equivalent to ms-dos

Question

I'm trying to make a timeout in my .sh file that is the same as the one in my .bat file, but I'm not sure of how to do it... at all.
It's just a simple "wait" command that last 3 seconds and has no purpose other than waiting
Here is my msdos code:

timeout /t 3 /nobreak > NUL

Can this be done in .sh?

Just use sleep 3 instead of timeout.

Use this:

sleep 3

so, just use sleep and the given time in seconds.
