Question: I want to know how to split a singular element of my list into multiple different elements. For example: 

```
list=['My phone is cracked']  

```

I want to make it into this: 

```
list=['My','phone','is','cracked']

```

Answer: 
I am assuming that the ask is to iterate through the list and split the element into multiple elements using ' ' if exists, else element as is.

So

becomes

This is how you can do that:

```
list1 = ['My phone is cracked', 'new phone', 'collection']
new_list1 = [y for x in list1 for y in x.split(' ')]

```
You can use the split() method (<https://docs.python.org/3.5/library/stdtypes.html#str.split>).

`list[0].split()`
