You can add else, but you need to comment out the age = 19. It prevents the challenge grader from exercising the code. True and False need to be capitalized, and not written as a string:

admitted = None
# age = 19  # <-- comment out
if age >= 13:  # <-- change to '>=' for "13 or more"
    admitted = True  # <-- capitalize
else:
    admitted = False

great thing the exercise states you need to comment out the age variable! ...
