You are very close. The task expects an asterisk-space prefix on each line.

Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!!

Hi I added the asterisk-space and it's still not working for me

Be sure there is a printed blank SPACE between the asterisk and the continent.

You're almost there. You need to add the asterisks and then concatenate the variable.

for continent in continents:
    if continent[0] == "A":
        print('* ' + continent)
