You are definitely close and have the right idea. The challenge is looking for the format() method to be directly attached to the string that is assigned to the subject variable. We don't need to print anything.
Try doing the subject variable step all in one line and see how that works.
Happy coding,

Here's an example, not the answer, but you should be able to get there.
name = "Blake"
statement = "{} can code in Python.".format(name)
