In this final code challenge, you'll create a tag that will return the proper conjugation of the verb "to be" depending on whether the subject is plural or singular. Example: "There is 1 elf" versus "There are 5 elves".
Start by creating a conjugate_is function for your template tag. It should take a number as an argument. If (and only if) that number equals 1, the function should return the string 'is'.
from django import template
register = template.Library()
def conjugate_is(1):
return template(is)
{% load fairy_extras %}
There is {{ num_elf }} el{{ num_elf|pluralize:"f,ves" }}.

def conjugate_is(int): if int == 1: return 'is'
