Ummm... It is kind of difficult to pick out the issue when you post like this. Are you sure that you are in the Python REPL?

Please read below on how to properly post your code for questions, that way everyone will be able to help you faster! Code Wrap your code with 3 backticks (```) on the line before and after. If you specify the language after the first set of backticks, that'll help us with syntax highlighting.

      ```html
      <p>This is code!</p>
      ```

I think that it is supposed to be

input("how are you")

instead of 

input('how are you')

i believe, that you have to use the quotation marks that I use in my example instead of the marks that you use
