Not sure what I did wrong here...

I am not sure what I did wrong in this code. Could somebody help me out?

If you see anything please let me know and any suggestions.

var name1 = prompt("Please enter a name.");
var animal = prompt("Please type an animal.");
var name2 = prompt("Please enter another name.");
var pluralNoun = prompt("Please enter a plural noun.");
var verb = prompt("Please enter a verb in the past tense.");
var adjective = prompt("Please enter an adjective.");
var noun = prompt("Please enter a noun.");

alert("You're all done!);

var sentence = "<p> There once was a boy named " + name1 + ". He had a friend who was a " + animal + " and his name was " + name2 + ". They found a treasure full of " + pluralNoun + ". So they" + verb + " back to their " + adjective + " town of " + noun + " with it."</p>;
document.write(sentence);

Hey Erika,

I updated your formatting to make it easier to read. To make the code stand out, use three back ticks at the beginning and end of the code. The back tick (`) is on the same button as the tilda(~) which is usually at the top left of your keyboard. For more information on markdown formatting, check out the Markdown Cheatsheet located at the bottom of the comment and answer boxes.

Hi Erika,

You're just missing some some closing quotation marks in your alert() function:

alert("You're all done!);

And around the closing paragraph tag in your sentence var:

var sentence = "<p> There once was a boy named " + name1 + ". He had a friend who was a " + animal + " and his name was " + name2 + ". They found a treasure full of " + pluralNoun + ". So they" + verb + " back to their " + adjective + " town of " + noun + " with it."</p>;

I added the closing quotes to the first one and changed the closing quotes around at the last one and my code works now...thank you very much!

It looks like you missed the ending quotation marks in your alert() function.

Thank you! I will remember to do that next time to make it easier to read. I did add the quotes alongn with changing the quotes at the end and it worked!
