Return a list containing every other element from an input list

Question

Saludos a todos/as! (Greetings!). I need your assistance if it's possible, I'm finding a way to: "return a list containing EVERY OTHER ELEMENT from an input list, starting with the first element (that means included I think)", starting with a def function with one parameter, one variable that is an empty list and other variable that is equal to 0, with no modules, I can only use basic list functions, if anyone would be so kind to give me an example, thanks in advance!
