I think this is the way to solve this challenge but I keep getting stuck can I have some hints.
let name = "Ricardo Gonzalez"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name) , .,"
let finalGreeting = "\(greeting), How are you?"

let name = "Ricardo Gonzalez"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)."
let finalGreeting = greeting + " How are you?"

You're definitely doing it right! Your problem actually isn't code - it's grammar. Your greeting just has some extra punctuation, and then you also added an extra comma in finalGreeting. All you need to do is clean that up:
let name = "Ricardo Gonzalez"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)."
let finalGreeting = "\(greeting) How are you?"
That said, the challenge does ask you to use the concatenation method, so Jcorum's answer is correct. Just thought I'd add some additional explanation to why you weren't getting a helpful error message.

2,286 PointsOh ok I see. I just had to read more carefully. I just notice that it was asking for the concatenated method and not the interpolation method. Thanks a lot for helping me find my mistake.
