Procedure for Writing Caption

From the examples of captions above, of course, it can be seen that in writing captions it is not arbitrary. There are several ways to write the caption. According to nwscholasticpress there are several things that need to be considered in writing a good caption that can be used as a complementary image, the procedure is as follows:

1. In writing captions in English, it is not necessary to use article words such as a, an, or the. As much as possible use the simple Present Tenses so that the picture can be described.
2. The information provided to the reader is not obtained just by looking at the picture.
3. The text in the caption is only to complete the photo, not to replace the photo.
4. At the time of writing text captions do not need to start with a name.
5. When writing text captions that indicate an individual, the word "from left" can be used instead of "from left to right".
6. When writing text in the caption, there is no need to write clear words, such as "Above" and "Pictured here".
7. In mentioning the name in the caption, if the name is really important.
8. Writing a good caption in English can start with several variations of the words below:

• Prepositional phrases
• Infinitive – phrases
• Participial phrases
• Adjective phrases
• Questions
• Exclamations

The things above that need to be considered in writing text on captions, although some of the tips that have been given cannot be used as a benchmark in writing captions for one photo, there are some that need to be adjusted based on the context of the photo.

1. What's happen between US and China?
