verb = input("Please enter a verb ")
noun = input("Please enter a noun ")
adjective = input("Please enter a adjective ")
print("I enjoy practice! I find it helps me to " + verb + " better.")
print("Without practice, my " + noun + " would probably not even work.")
print("My code is getting more " + adjective + " every single day!")
the instructor used "," but I used "+" what's the actual difference?

print("HAPPY CODING FOLKS!")

The best option would probably depend on the programmer and what he's normally used to using but as for me, I find using the placeholders({}) quiet easy to use and to understand. Especially when I need to revisit my code and check where I've used my variables and how I used them. I shun option 1 of concatenating strings and variables as using '+' comes with chances of making mistakes when placing the quotes and the '+' sign. Another quiet handy way of using variables in a print statement is to use f-strings. You get to use placeholders and not need to use the .format() method!
Example:
name = 'Tree'
surname = 'house'
print(f'{name}{house}.')
name = "Tom"
age = 14
print(f"My name is {name}. I'm {age} years old.")

OR
print("I enjoy practice! I find it helps me to", verb, "better.")
print("Without practice, my", noun, "would probably not even work.")
print("My code is getting more", adjective, "every single day!")
OR
print("I enjoy practice! I find it helps me to {} better.".format(verb))
print("Without practice, my {} would probably not even work.".format(noun))
print("My code is getting more {} every single day!".format(adjective))

verb_input = input("Please enter a verb: ")
noun_input = input("Please enter a noun: ")
adjective_input = input("Please enter a adjective: ")
str_one = f"I enjoy practice! I find it helps me to {verb_input} better."
str_two = f"Without practice, my {noun_input} would probably not even work"
str_three = f"My code is getting more {adjective_input} every single day!"
print(str_one)
print(str_two)
print(str_three)
I can just simply place the f sting inside the print() function.
print(f"I enjoy practice! I find it helps me to {verb_input} better.")
print(f"Without practice, my {noun_input} would probably not even work")
print(f"My code is getting more {adjective_input} every single day!")
