Why isn't my let firstTag just showing "swift"?

The code challenge isn't accepting this as the right answer because description is printing out "Tag(name: "swift") instead of just "swift". how do I fix it so that it just displays the name, "swift"

structs.swift 
struct Tag {
  let name: String
}

struct Post {
  let title: String
  let author: String
  let tag: Tag

  func description() -> String {
    return "\(title) by \(author). Filed under \(tag)";
  }
}

let firstTag = Tag(name: "swift")
let firstPost = Post(title: "iOSDevelopment", author: "Apple", tag: firstTag);

let postDescription = firstPost.description()

Hello, Ben.

I've looked at your code and realized you must do this: let firstPost = Post(title: "iOSDevelopment", author: "Apple", tag: firstTag.name);

By doing firstTag.name, you're obtaining the correct value only.

Thank you. That was it. That makes complete sense
