Can't type string without quotations

Hello everyone, I am trying to make a text based game in PyCharm and for some reason the program won't let me type strings in the run terminal without putting quotes around it (so for example I can't type yes in the run terminal without having to put quotes around it). It's a very minor issue, just one of those pet peeve type things, but so far I haven't been able to find any work arounds to it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
