Many notable poets often lived in the New England states.

In the above sentence i need to identify the subject modifiers in the sentence and the descriptive adjectives.
I believe the adjectives are New England, many and notable. What then would be the modifier of the subject? I
believe poets is the subject.

Yes! Poets is the subject.

Yes, many and notable both modify poets.

However, what does New England modify?

new england modifys states??????????

Yes! exactly... good job.

You are correct that "New England," "many," and "notable" are the descriptive adjectives in the sentence. "New England" describes the location of the states, while "many" and "notable" describe the poets.

The subject of the sentence is "poets," and there are no modifiers directly attached to the subject in this sentence. A subject modifier would be an additional phrase or clause that provides more information about the subject, such as "who lived in the New England states" or "known for their remarkable works." However, in this case, the sentence simply states that many notable poets lived in the New England states without further modification of the subject "poets."
