Task 1 is asking you to create a variable name with a name assigned to it, so you need something like this:

name = "Kelvine Chawora"

The second task is asking you to use concatenation to combine tree and house, hence:

treehouse = "Tree" + "house"

..and on the final task, you need to use the str.format to join the created variables with a word in the middle to create a sentence, like this:

email_greeting = "{} loves {}".format(treehouse, name)

At the end of the challenges, you should have something like this:

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