my answer is correct

func greeting(person: String) -> (greeting: String, language: String) {
    let language = "English"
    let greeting = "Hello \(person)"

    return (language, greeting)
}

var result = greeting("Tom")

why is this wrong?

Hey Derrick,

Your code is syntactically correct, but Treehouse's tests are failing when you try to submit your answer. I assume that the assignment wants you to return "Hello Tom" as your greeting, but you forgot to interpolate your string. Try exchanging your greeting declaration for this:

let greeting = "Hello \(person)"

ah u got me!!

I'm glad it worked!

was actually something else wrong too...the greeting language were reversed in the return as well.
