getting error in Sublime editor: Python code

Question

Getting an error: "Inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation" Please help to spot an error in my code for the sub that "If a word starts with a vowel (aeiou), add the letters 'yay'. Example: the word are would become areyay."

Error for line #5

def convertEnglishToPigLatin():
    print('You chose to convert English to PigLatin.')
    eng = input('Enter the English sentence to convert to PigLatin.\n')
    engWordSplit = eng.split()
    for i in range(0, len(engWordSplit)):  
        if engWordSplit[i].startswith(("a","A","e","E","i","I","o","O","u","U")):
            engWordSplit[i].append("yay")
        else:
            firstCharacter = engWordSplit.strip(0)
            engWordSplit.append(firstCharacter)
            engWordSplit.append("ay")
    print(engWordSplit)

Forgot to mention: Variable and function names should follow the `lower_case_with_underscores` style. — AMC, Dec 01 '19 at 04:21
i know. for now, i'm just following naming conventions as per examples from the 'master' (community college introduction to prog. teacher) — kstatinet, Dec 01 '19 at 04:32
still a bit struggling with the code, but the original question was answered already. my current ugly code is as follows: — kstatinet, Dec 01 '19 at 04:34
def convertEnglishToPigLatin(): print('You chose to convert English to PigLatin.') eng = input('Enter the English sentence to convert to PigLatin.\n') engWordSplit = eng.split() for i in range(0, len(engWordSplit)): currentWord = engWordSplit[i] — kstatinet, Dec 01 '19 at 04:34

You can just do the following in sublime text editor:

View => Indentation => Indent using spaces

This should convert all tabs to spaces and eliminate the error.
