its the same concept as task 2 (you just are concatenating variables this time as well in addition to string literals). use the + operator to concatenate strings together. you need to concatenate the treehouse variable, the string " loves " and the name variable.

you need to use spaces before and after loves so the string comes out as "Treehouse loves stone" and not "Treehouselovesstone". 

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

you could also use the format funtion of str to do this as well

name = "stone"
treehouse = "Tree" + "house"
email_greeting = "{} loves {}".format(treehouse, name)

It worked. My problem was that I chose the first example you put up and I had parentheses around it. Thank you very much.
