Continue Task - What's wrong with my code?

Hi there. I need help checking what's wrong with my code. When I click to check work, it just says: Bummer! Try again

breaks.py 
def loopy(items):
    # Code goes here
    for thing in items:
        if thing[0] == "a"
            continue
        else
            print(thing)

You are just missing a colon following the if and else statements:

def loopy(items):
    # Code goes here
    for thing in items:
        if thing[0] == "a": # <- Added colon
            continue
        else: # <- Added colon
            print(thing)
