Hello, You have to separate your variables and strings with commas. See below

favorite_color="blue"
print("The color",favorite_color, "my favorite")

There needs to be commas in your print statement that separates the variable name from the other two strings so they will be added together.

favorite_color = "blue" print("The color", favorite_color, "is my favorite")
