News Item Pt.3

Remember :

Headlines often use a NOUN PHRASE, that is, a phrase without a verb:

Poor Service at Supermarkets.

Best Strategies for New Tax Year / Thai Protesters Parade

There are also some VERB CHANGES. The simple tenses are preferred to continuous or perfect forms and auxiliary verbs are dropped in the passive:

Teachers Protest Pay Cuts (they are protesting)

Underground Strike Started Today (the strike has started today)

The INFINITIVE TENSE is used to talk about the future:

President to Open New Art Gallery

New Player to be hired by NBA
