Can someone help me debug

This code keeps failing but I followed exactly how the instructor passed word count to the time_estimate

code_challenges/templatetags/fairy_extras.py 
from django import template

register = template.Library()

@register.simple_tag
def conjugate_is(num):
    if (num == 1):
        return 'is'
    else:
        return 'are'
code_challenges/templates/code_challenges/list.html 
{% load fairy_extras %}

There {{ num_elf|conjugate_is }} {{ num_elf }} el{{ num_elf|pluralize:"f,ves" }}.

Hi David,

I'll give you a hint since you made it through the first 3 tasks: remember that you have created a simple tag, not a filter.

In a template, simple tags are handled differently than filters.

Let me know if you need any more help.

Good luck.

Oh okay, I figured out the mistake I made. I confused the syntax for filters and simple tags. Thank you for the help.
