Opps. It looks like Task 1 is no longer passing. Where did I go wrong?

Task 1 and Task 2 initially passed. When I get to Task 3 I get the error message in the title. I assume I am making an error on line 5.

name.py 
name = "Mark"
tree = "Tree"
house = "house"
treehouse = tree + house
email_greeting = name "loves "treehouse

You'll want to add + to both sides of the " loves " string so the interpreter knows you want to concatenate them. Be mindful of the white space in the string as well.

And I believe that the correct output should be Treehouse loves name.

Thank you Gordon,

I should have read the question better.

Thank you for your feedback.
