@client.command(aliases=["ms", "aliases!"]) # You make make the command respond to other commands too
async def ping(ctx, a_variable): # a_variable is a parameter you use in the command

        # don't respond to ourselves
        if message.author == self.user:
            return

        if message.content == 'ping':
            await message.channel.send('pong')

client = MyClient()
client.run('token')

import discord

client = discord.Client()

@client.event
async def on_ready():

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.author == client.user:
        return

    if message.content.startswith('$hello'):
