CAPTION: Vehicles negotiate España yesterday as a night of continuous rainfall spawned heavy flooding in many parts of Metro Manila.
I have written about verb tense errors in photo captions a number of times. The photo on the left shows another such error in the caption. Writers, especially journalists, write sentences on a daily basis and verb tense errors do not often occur in articles--at least not as often as pronoun-antecedent errors do. So it makes me wonder: why do they make errors in photo captions?
Is it because they get lost between writing present-tense captions and sticking to the journalistic method of stating the who, what, why and when?
