Indentation Block Error

I've had a really big issue with this specific file for over a week now. Regardless of how many times I have retyped this code, it still continually returns an error that there is an indentation error at the 'ask' method. Is there a way that you all go about debugging this issue in Python? Below I put in the code for the program.

import datetime
import random

from questions import Add, Multiply


class Quiz:
    questions = []
    answers = []

    def __init__(self):
        question_types = (Add, Multiply)
        # generate 10 random quesions with numbers from 1 to 10
         for _ in range(10):
            num1 = random.randint(1, 10)
            num2 = random.randint(1, 10)
            question = random.choice(question_types)
            # add these questions into self.questions
            self.questions.append(question)

    def take_quiz(self):
    # log the start time
    # ask all of the questions
    # log if they got the question right
    # log the end line
    # show a summary

    def ask(self, question):
    # log the start time
    # capture the answer
    # check the answer
    # log the end time
    # if the answer is right, send back True
    # otherwise, send back false
    # send back the elapsed time too

    def total_correct(self):
    # return the total # of corrct answers
        total = 0
        for answer in self.answers:
            if answer[0]:
                total += 1
        return total

    def summary(self):
    # print how many you got right and the toal # of questions
        print("You got {} out of {} right.".format(self.total_corect(), len(self.questions)))
    # print the total time for the quiz: 30 seconds!
        print("It took you {} seconds total.".format((self.end_time-self.start_time).seconds))

the body of ask is all comments. it is expecting an indented block since you defined a function. add the body or comment out the definition. same with take quiz. i also got an error on the indentation of the for loop in the init.

Tried it and it worked. Thank you!!
