Currently our greeting function only returns a single value. Modify it to return both the greeting and the language as a tuple. Make sure to name each item in the tuple: greeting and language. We will print them out in the next task.

You need to change the return type of the function from String to (String, String) and you need to add names to each part (greeting: String, language: String). Then you need to update the return statement itself so it does return two Strings as a tuple, rather than one String:

func greeting(person: String) -> (greeting: String, language: String) {
    let language = "English"
    let greeting = "Hello \(person)"

    return (greeting, language)
}
