Hi Suleiman,

You're very close, Python is indent sensitive which means that the if statement needs to fall on the same column as the print statement otherwise the compiler won't know what item is and throw an error. Along with that, you have a random and unneeded closing parenthesis after your if statement and have the print statement before the if when it needs to come after. 

def loopy(items):
    for item in items:
        if item == "STOP":
            break

        print(item)

Happy coding!
