Hi Chris,

there are few problems with your code - first - at first line there's a sentence wrapped in quotes which is not assigned to any variable. Second - you are missing semicolons after statements. This is what I came up - you can copy it and paste it into console and hit enter.

var adjective = prompt('Please type and adjective');
var name = prompt('Please type a name');
var place = prompt('Please type a place');

var sentence = "There once was a " + adjective;
sentence += " child named " + name + " he lived In a small town out by " + place + ".";


alert('All done now its story time!');
alert(sentence);
