Is the sentence below correct? I just found it on the newspaper and wonder where is a finite verb.
“More than 200 students attending the two events, which ended on Tuesday”
That sentence is not correct.
It could be the opening phrase for a longer sentence
for example:
More than 200 students attending the two events, which ended on Tuesday, were treated to a magnificent visual feast.
or it is a typo and should read ‘attended’.
attended sounds good
it’s in the past
[:
Yes, I think it is a typo since they put it as a complete sentence. Thanks to both of you.
I want to ask another question. Is it possible to put incomplete sentence as I gave the example above as a headline or a caption of attached picture?
Another examples are as following:
- Woman jailed for homicide
- Captain happy to abandon ship
If the first example was a photo caption then that explains everything. It is acceptable as a caption, because it is explaining the photograph. The photograph will have shown the crowd of students attending the events.
Your new examples sound like headlines rather than captions.
Yes. I only gave the headline examples, forgot already about the caption exampe one. Thanks for your explanation.
