Tell us what’s happening:
I can’t tell what I’m doing wrong here. Please, someone, help.

Your code so far


// Example
function ourTrueOrFalse(isItTrue) {
  if (isItTrue) { 
    return "Yes, it's true";
  }
  return "No, it's false";
}

// Setup
function trueOrFalse(wasThatTrue) {

  // Only change code below this line.
  if(true){
      return "Yes, that was true";
  }
  return "No, that was false";
  
  // Only change code above this line.

}

// Change this value to test
trueOrFalse(false);

You are not using the whatThatTrue parameter to test if it is true or not in the if condition. If you usetrue as a condition it will allways enter that branch of the if/else block, because true will evaluate allways as true.

ok wrote it as if(wasThatTrue == true){
return ‘yada’
}

and it worked. Is that the only way to do it though?
