I can't figure out how to make this work! :(

I can't make the if else statement work. I've looked at my other codes but still can't figure it out. I think if else statements always get me. :(

Your syntax is indeed slightly wrong. If statements are statements like anything else, so they don't need to be indented! Here is the syntax:

if ...:
  ...
elif ...:
  ... # optional
else:
  ...

for you:

print("aer-, aero-: means ______")
response = input()
if response == "air":
  print("Correct!")
else:
  print("Wrong, it means: air")

I put your input into a variable instead of an if statement because it's more maintainable that way. Also, input is a function that takes an argument to print to the screen, not to compare! Use == for that.

Thank you @Coder100. I will try it out.
