Newspaper Headlines
Headlines are printed in large letters to catch the readers' eye and use as few words as possible. Hence, we sometimes call them "phrase headlines'. Grammar words like articles (a,an,the) and auxiliary verbs (is, are, was, were, may, must, can,etc) are often left out
7
See examples of phrase headlines:
Government to Accelerate Infrastructure Development
Government Thinking of Setting up Six Economic Corridors
Old Woman Jailed for Shoplifting
Cambodia, Thailand Accept RI as Observer
MoU of Textile Product with China Signed
8
Headlines
Some headlines use the present tense although the event happened two days ago. Why? The present tense gives a sense of freshness and immediacy. This makes the news more interesting to read.
9
The tenses in headlines:
The past participle is used for passive sentence. example : Agreement is signed today. Headline: Agreement Signed Today (Past Participle)
The infinitive is used for future events. Example: The president will open the ASEAN summit. Headline: President to Open ASEAN Summit (to infinitive)
The present participle is used for happening events. Example: English teachers are having a TEFLIN seminar. Headline: English Teachers Having TEFLIN Seminar (present participle)
To be and pronouns omitted in headlines. Example: People are free to choose their leader. Headlines: People Free to Choose Leader (adjective)
10
The Passive Voice
We often see the use of passive sentences in news stories to emphasize the action, not the participant (who did it). The passive voice is also useful when you din't know who the agent is.
