// Enter your code below
let name = "Jon"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)."
let finalGreeting = greeting + " How are you?"
(Remember the space in front of How)

You need to be pretty prescriptive and follow the output that the challenge wants precisely else it'll fail you:
// Enter your code below
let name = "Jon"
let greeting = "Hi there, \(name)"
That should get you through the first bit. It is expecting that output, not the extra bit you added, that's all.
Steve.

Let me try that again - I'll edit this post in a minute.
