combining the treehouse variable with the name variable and the string "loves" and I am to leave a space with each item.

I wrote email_greeting = "Treehouse" + "loves" + "Thomas" ; This is wrong where is my error in this code?

name.py 
name = "Thomas"
treehouse = "Tree"+"house"
email_greeting = "Treehouse" + "loves" + "Thomas"

That is not wrong at all, but it's not what has been asked in the challenge. They asked you to use the variable <name> instead of "Thomas". I know the output is the same, but using the variable instead of the value is better to have more control over your programs. Oh and there's a little mistake, you have to use spaces before and after 'loves' so it looks like this:

name = "Thomas"
treehouse = "Tree"+"house"
email_greeting = treehouse + " loves " + name
