Answer 6

Hi there! A simple subject is the "main idea" of a sentence. Tradition is the simple subject of #1. Do you know why?

Answer 7

I'll continue onward, but if you know why 'tradition' is the simple subject, feel free to jump in and say so! Alright, it's probable you know what adjectives are. Adjectives describe nouns.

"The Old English alliterative tradition"
