Hi Chey,

Wrap tree and house inside quotes to make them strings. Also, you'll need to capitalize Tree for this challenge.

Now, create a variable named treehouse by combining two strings, "Tree" and "house".

You'll see "Task 1 is no longer passing" generally when you have some syntax error or otherwise non-functioning code.

In your case, you've tried to add two variables (tree, house) before you initialize their value.

With lines tree = "Tree" and house = "house" between the name = ... line and treehouse = ... line, your code will both function and pass the test.
