Please, how I can solve this problem? :s

Create a function named phone_numbers that takes a string and returns all of the phone numbers in the string using re.findall(). The phone numbers will all be in the format 555-555-5555.

phone_number.py 
import re

def phone_numbers(string):
    print(re.findall(r'\w{3}-\w{3}-\w{4}\'))

Instead of \w , words, search for digits , \d, and provide the string to the findall function as second parameter.

    return re.findall(r'\d{3}-\d{3}-\d{4}', string)

Hope this help.
