You need to print that sentence. Remember the print("[Something goes here]") function? Try reviewing the previous video. Also, remember a variable is like a box that stores information. You've already put that you're favorite color is purple, now all you need to do is put the variable. So on the second line, you only need to use favorite_color, but you don't need ="purple". You only need that on the first line.

She will also need to concatenate the base of the sentence with the variable favorite_color inside the print function. Don't forget about spaces!
