Hello:

After looking at the challenge, I noticed that you change a few things from there.

Challenge says:

+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

So we have to create a tuple as a return type. Then inside the body of the function we return the tuple itself. 

                                      // This is the tuple
func greeting(person: String) -> (greeting: String, language: String) {
    let language = "English"
    let greeting = "Hello \(person)"

    return (greeting, language) // Return the tuple
}

Hope you understand a bit more. :)

Good luck
