Nominal sentences in English are relatively uncommon, but may be found in non-finite embedded clauses such as the one in “I consider John intelligent”, where to be is omitted from John to be intelligent.
They can also be found in newspaper headlines, such as “Jones Winner” where the intended meaning is with the copular verb, “Jones is the Winner”.[9]
Other examples are proverbs (“More haste, less speed”); requests (“Scalpel!”); and statements of existence (“Fire in the hole!”), which are often warnings.
