Everybody running to the coconnut tree. Why the verb 'be' is removed?
Hi!
I‘m reading a children's picture book which is called Chicka Chicka Boom Boom.
And I get puzzled with the sentence ’Everybody running to the coconut tree.‘.
I think this is not a sentence because the verb 'be' is removed. (Everybody is running to the coconut tree?)
"Skit skat skoodle doot.
Flip flop flee.
Everybody running to the coconut tree."

Doris Dong I think this is not a sentence because the verb 'be' is removed. You are technically right, but it sounds like eye dialect, the type of ungrammaticality supposedly characteristic of creoles. I am guessing because you have provided no context.
