7. Python uses indentation to indicate a block of code.

The number of spaces is up to you as a programmer, but it has to be at least one.

if 5 > 2:     print("Five is greater than two!")  if 5 > 2:         print("Five is greater than two!")

You have to use the same number of spaces in the same block of code, otherwise Python will give you an error:

if 5 > 2:     print("Five is greater than two!")         print("Five is greater than two!")
