let finalGreeting = "greeting + How are you?" why does this not work? for challenge task 2

greeting constant was declared as "Hi there, Moe" It is supposed to read "Hi there, Moe. How are you?" It says I am using an improper form of string concatenation.

strings.swift 
// Enter your code below
let name = "Moe"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)"
let finalGreeting = "greeting + How are you?"

Hi Mohamed,

You have your first quotation mark in the wrong place.

You code should be:

let finalGreeting = greeting + ". How are you?"

Hope that helps :-) Don
