Which part isn't working? I just ran your code and it seems to be working fine.

EDIT: I see your problem. It was looking for this, you had the right idea just not quite what it was after

using System;

class Program
{

    // YOUR CODE HERE: Define a Quote method!
    static string Quote(string phrase)
    {
        return $"\"{phrase}\"";
    }

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        // Quote by Maya Angelou.
        Console.WriteLine(Quote("When you learn, teach. When you get, give."));
        // Quote by Benjamin Franklin.
        Console.WriteLine(Quote("No gains without pains."));
    }
}
