Arrays Methods Problems

I am having a problem with this challenge. The objective is to use a method on "spareWords" that will make "firstWords" the first item in the "spareWords" array while simultaneously removing "firstWords" from the beginning of the array. Can anyone help please?

var spareWords = ["The","chimney","sweep's","dog"];
      var saying = ["quick", "brown", "fox", "jumps", "over", "the", "lazy"];
      var firstWord = spareWords.shift("firstWords");

you should not have "firstWords" in the parentheses spareWords.shift() is all you need
