How to resolve the error "typeError 'int' object is not subscriptable"

I'm making a Connect Four game for a class and I'm running into an error with my play function.

def play(grid,column,checker):
    
    counter = 0
    for x in grid[0]:
        counter += 1
    print(counter)
    if counter > column-1 :
        for row in reversed(grid):
            if row[column-1] == "empty":
                row[column-1] = checker
                print(True)
                return True,grid,checker
    else:
        print(False)
        return False  , grid , checker

The problem occurs at line 9 (if row[column-1] == "empty") and I keep getting

typeError 'int' object is not subscriptable

grid is a global variable returned from a different function.

The problem here is actually in the different function grid is returned from. You must have made some mistake there, which causes that different function return something of the form [1, 6, 3, 8, 3], whereas your play function assumes something in the form of [[1, 5, 6, 2, 10], [1, 5, 6, 2, 10], [1, 5, 6, 2, 10], [1, 5, 6, 2, 10]].
