You're trying to represent a Tag object as a string, which you can't do. You need to use its name. Just change \(tag) to \(tag.name), and you should be good to go.
Edit: You've created an interesting initializer for Post (I'd want to use this as a convenience initializer, rather than default, but I like it), but the challenge isn't expecting anything but the default initializer, which is why it's throwing an (unhelpful) error. If you remove your initializer, you can create an instance like this:
let postExample = Post(title: "My Goald", author: "David Ortiz", tag: Tag(name: "D.O"))
Make sense?
Cheers

self.title = title
self.author = author

}
}

39,021 PointsAh, I see the problem - should definitely not be a compiler error, but oh well. I've edited my answer above.

5,565 PointsDavid, You still have not called the instance of Tag object when you are calling it in the constant firstPost.
let firstPost = Post(title: "My Goald", author: "David Ortiz", tag: Tag(name: "D.O"))
Try now.
Cheerz! DJ
