Please help, what's wrong with my code? "Try again" appeard in the last step constantly. Thank you very much.

What's wrong with my tag used in last page?

code_challenges/templatetags/fairy_extras.py 
from django import template

register = template.Library()

@register.simple_tag
def conjugate_is(num):
    if num == 1:
        return 'is'
    else:
        return 'are'
code_challenges/templates/code_challenges/list.html 
{% load fairy_extras %}

 There {% conjugate_is(num_elf) %} {{ num_elf }} el{{ num_elf|pluralize:"f,ves" }}.

I copied and pasted your code into the challenge and it worked just fine (for both challenges). So it might that you have extra spaces/blank lines somewhere?

You mustn't pass the argument like in an ordinary function, tags work differently. Try {% conjugate_is num_elf %} instead of {% conjugate_is(num_elf) %}
