The sentence below often appears in a "blank" page of books. >"This Page Intentionally Left Blank" Why there's no linking verb after the subject (**Page**)? e.g.: >This Page **Was** Intentionally Left Blank <br> If the adverb in the original sentence is removed, we only have: >This Page Left Blank So I wonder why the original sentence without a linking verb often appears in books. Is it not odd without a linking verb? Based on my understanding of the original sentence, it means that the page left itself blank, which is odd for me. Hope to get some clarifications about this.
