arshamah While watching BBC World News, I happened to see " The assessor taken ill". It is not a complete declarative sentence; it seems to be (if correctly transcribed) a headline or caption, for instance. Please explain more of the precise contest: where did you 'see' it in a news broadcast?

Thanks.
The sentence was transcribed as caption on BBC. Moreover, I head once that a correspondent utilized it on news.

Then I think you miscopied it. It would read perhaps 'was taken ill.'
