Hi Alexandre,

You are nearly there! You have just missed the else statement following the if statement and the colon after the "if" declaration. Please see the code that I used below to pass this challenge:

def loopy(items):
    # Code goes here
    for item in items:
        if item == "STOP":
            break
        else:
            print(item)

Hope this helps! Happy Coding!!!
