I don't see why the correct answer would be in the imperfect, since the coming of the tradition is something that has happened and is over with. The imperfect doesn't work. The correct answer should use the passe compose: Cette tradition, qui est venue....>>
Interested to know why "mal de gorge" wasn’t accepted?
Incidentally there’s a very rare type of severe throat infection known as "Vincent’s angina" in English. I find from the internet that it’s named after a French epidemiologist with the magnificent name of Jean Hyacinthe Vincent.

Then why is "nous nous sommes brossé" correct? shouldn't it be "brosses"????
By the way, we would never say “At the Doctor”. It’s always “At the Doctor‘s”. This is short for “At the Doctor’s surgery”, although this expanded form is rarely said. So we would say “I’m going to the Doctor’s”, “I’m at the Doctor’s”, and so on. We can, however, use “Doctor” without the possessive with the statement “I’m going to see the Doctor”. Also, it’s worth mentioning that a surgery, in this context, is more-or-less an office and not anything like an operating theatre.
I was confused with the subjunctive following the phrase "nous esperons que ce soit.." as I thought it didn't take it in the affirmative, only in the negative?
What other or verbs are conjugated like an er verb in the future if any? Thank you.
