Struggling with stopwords

I have tried this

new_list = []
for w in sentence.split():
        if w not in stopwords:
            new_list.append(w)

and this

sentence = [w for w in sentence if w not in stopwords]

yet, I dont understand why I’m still getting

remove_stopwords(“I am about to go to the store and get any snack”)
Output:
‘i am about to go to the store and get any snack’

what am I doing wrong with this function? thank you.

@bluetail send me a DM with the notebook, and I’ll take a look
