Syntax error on question 17/19

When I run the code:

 def shut_down(s): 
    return s
 if (s) == "yes":
    return "Shutting down"
    elif (s) == "no":
        return "Shutdown aborted"
    else:
        return 'Sorry'

it returns a syntax error:

File "python", line 6
    elif (s) == "no":
       ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I’ve tried multiple variations and consulted other posts, but with no luck. Do have any suggestions? Thank! :)

Never mind. The correct code is:

def shut_down(s):

    if s == "yes":
        return "Shutting down"
    elif s == "no":
        return "Shutdown aborted"
    else:
        return "Sorry"
