Simple finding instances of matches in a list with python

I want to find a word ('pair) in a list of sentences and add the frequency of each word to a count. I am getting an assertion error but I don't understand where i'm going wrong. Is there a missing step?

def finding_instances(sentences, pair):
     counter = 0
     for sentence in sentences:
          words = sentence.split() 
     for words in sentences:
          if pair in words:
                counter += 1
          return counter

assert finding_instances(["welcome to the great parade", "good morning", "I enjoy Python", "Welcome in"], "Python") == 1
assert finding_instances(["I hate", "other languages", "I am", "Hello"], "Welcome") == 0
