How could I complete this Code Challenge?

So I'm stuck on this Code Challenge and no matter what I tried nothing works. It could be because I'm new to programming, but if you could help, then that would be great. Here's a screenshot. Thank you!

strings.py 
name = "Kenneth"
subject = "Treehouse " + "loves"

"Treehouse loves" is its own string. The problem is asking you to combine the aforementioned string with the name variable.

The challenge is asking you to concatenate the variable "name" with the string "Treehouse loves ".

Concatenate is a fancy term for adding strings together.

Try putting "Treehouse loves " in one string, then with your addition operator add the variable you created called name.
