Hi Jon,

I'm assuming that this question is targeted for the first part of the challenge. They want you to name the return types like this:

func greeting(person: String) -> (greeting: String, language: String) {  // named the first item in the tuple greeting and the second language
    let language = "English"
    let greeting = "Hello \(person)"

    return (greeting, language)
}

Good luck! :)
