Why doesn't the following code pass?

I am giving it the tuple with greeting and language but it tells me that I am not.

tuples.swift
func greeting(person: String) -> (String, String)  {
    let language = "English"
    let greeting = "Hello \(person)"

    return (greeting, language)
}

You also need to modify the -> (String, String), because the return result isn't String anymore.

What does it need to be modified to?

a tuple of course, since your return value is tuple

func greeting(person: String) -> (greeting:String, language:String)  {

The full correct answer should look like this:

func greeting(person: String) -> (greeting: String, language: String) {
    let language = "English"
    let greeting = "Hello \(person)"

    return (greeting, language)
}
