If this is for the "Booleans" challenge, the problem is likely that you've added too much code. It's best to add just what the problem asks for so you don't confuse the error checker.

Another problem I notice is that the problem asks you to add a boolean to the condition of the if statement. Your code in plain text above does this, but in the code block below (which looks like the actual code being error-checked) you only have one if statement, and the condition does not contain a boolean.

Thank you Sara, you we're right!

I simplified the code and it accepted the "true" boolean.

:)

Glad you got it figured out! (:
