In task 3 of 3 of this challenge I'm trying to understand why there needs to be a space between the quotation marks and love. Here's the entire code that works below:
name = "David"
treehouse = "Tree" + "house"
email_greeting = treehouse + " loves " + name
When I tried it without the spaces the code failed to pass. When adding the spaces it passed. Thoughts?

Treehouse TeacherWithout the spaces in the string " loves " you'll end up with "TreehouselovesDavid" in the email_greeting variable. When combining string values you often need to add spaces just to make sentences that are readable such as "Treehouse loves David"

Unless Treehouse has some specific rule requiring spaces, this should pass (with or without spaces in the quoted string). Spaces look better, but they're not a Python requirement.

This worked for me, try think as of replacing the curly braces with the variables you put in the format :) Good luck!
