You are super close. The key is in the question description when it says "concatenate" think the + sign. And concatenate two separate strings. So you'll also want to close the (greeting) interpolation string and begin another. Check out this resource:
The final exercise will look like this:
let finalGreeting = "\(greeting)." + "How are you?"
Hope this helps!

let finalGreeting = (greeting) + " How are you?"

4,427 PointsHey there. Super close, as that would work, but the challenge asks you to use string concatenation. So try something similar to:
let finalGreeting = "value1" + "value2"
Hope that is helpful.
