I'm not understanding this question.

it doesn't make any sense to me. when I put return, it says I'm not returning anything. when i put console.log it says error.

object.js 
const player1 = {
    name: 'Ashley',
    color: 'purple',
    isTurn: true,
    play: function(){
        if (this.isTurn){
     console.log(`${this['name']} is now playing!`);} 
    }
}

Hey maliyah patterson 👋

It's hard to tell what went wrong with the return statement as that is not present in the snippet you've shared. I tried to complete the challenge on my end and when returning the string, instead of logging it to the console, your code is passing the tests as expected 🙂

const player1 = {
    name: 'Ashley',
    color: 'purple',
    isTurn: true,
    play: function(){
        // write code here.
      if(this.isTurn){
        return `${this['name']} is now playing!`;
      }
    }
}

Hope this helps!
