Antonio, your very close, but you just need to follow the instructions of the challenge. lets break doe the three questions and go from there:

question 1:

create a var and put your name as a string:

name = "Antonio"

question 2: It's asking you to just create two strings and concatenate them inside the var Treehouse, that's it. No need for anything else. It never asks you to create an x or y var, it asks you to create the var Treehouse. 

Treehouse = "tree" + "house"

question 3: here all you need to do is further use concatenation in the var like so: 

email_greeting = Treehouse + " loves " + name

and that's it. Just remember to follow the instructions, and you should be good to go. Also when using the format object, you need to close the string before applying the object to the string.

Hey! Well it looks like you're missing a double quote before your .format. This code would produce the string antonio house. If you want to put the word tree in swap out the (name) with (x)

name = "antonio"
x = "tree"
y = ( "{} house".format (name))
