The for loop is ok, the error is in the print statement. Remove the quotation marks around continents and also remote the 's' to make it continent. Continents is the list which is iterable, this means you can use it in a loop among other things. Continent (Without the 's') is one of the continents in the list so you want to print them one at a time. The loop will go through each item in the list and print them one at a time.
