Need help with this challenge?

Hey guys i am stuck with this challenge, and i cant understand why its not letting me pass. I think i have every thing that its asking me here, which is, to test if isTurn property is true using "this" and "dot" notation. 

const player1 = {
    name: 'Ashley',
    color: 'purple',
    isTurn: true,
    play: function(){
        // write code here.
        if (this.iSTurn) {

        };
    }
}

You have just made a typo (iSTurn with big s). Over time, you'll be more able to pay attention to small details, which is crucial for programming but you have to get used to it. 

if(this.isTurn){}

You will become better and better at it. :) Just keep practicing always, even if you have 10 minutes a day, keep practicing. You can slow down, but never stop - that is my advice.
