Hey Micah, usually, when "Task one is no longer passing", you have a syntax error. That's the case with your code! The line subject =+ is invalid syntax. You're giving it the correct opperand, but you're not giving it anything to concatenate, or add together. To complete this challenge, the subject variable needs to be assigned the string "Treehouse loves Micah", and you need to accomplish this using string concatenation. So start with subject = "Treehouse loves " and then use the + opperand to add your name variable to the string. Happy coding!
