Trouble with Python If Statement

I'm working through a lesson and I'm stuck. Since I'm new with Python, it's hard to figure out where I'm going wrong.

#Write your two "if" statements below!

def true_function():
    if                #Fill in your `if` statement here!
        return        #Make sure this function returns `True`

def false_function():
    if                #Fill in your `if` statement here!
        return        #Make sure this function returns `False`

This is my proposed solution, which gives me an error;

#Write your two "if" statements below!

    def true_function():
        if  2 + 2 == 4:           #Fill in your `if` statement here!
            return 'True'   #Make sure this function returns `True`

    def false_function():
        if  2 + 2 == 5:           #Fill in your `if` statement here!
            return 'False' #Make sure this function returns `False`

Can someone help me understand where I'm going wrong?

True and False are objects (or variables, or constants, or soft-keywords, or whatever you want to call them). They aren't strings.

return True

Your second function is also using a false condition, so the contents of the if block will never run. It'll drop off the end and return None instead.
