Started the challenge, quiz always tells me the answer is wrong. I feel it has to be a syntax error. Any suggestions?

Question

Below is my code:
var tally= 0
var question1= prompt('What animal barks?');
if (question1.toUpperCase === 'DOG') {
    tally+= 1;
alert("you got it right!");
} else { 
  alert("wrong!");
}
  var question2= prompt('What color is grass?');
if (question2 === 'GREEN') {
    tally+= 1;
alert("you got it right!");
} else { 
  alert("wrong!");
}
var question3= prompt('How many fingers on a hand?');
if (question2.toUpperCase === 'FIVE' || question2 ===5) {
    tally+= 1;
alert("you got it right!");
} else { 
  alert("wrong!");
}

I think Kieran's solutions should be correct. Each time you use the string property ".toUpperCase()" you need to make sure to include the parentheses. I've made the same mistake several times in my code already! Here's the corrected code (I think):
``` javaScript
var tally = 0;
var question1 = prompt ('What animal barks?');
if (question1.toUpperCase() = 'DOG') {
tally +=1; alert('you got it right');
} else { alert ('wrong');}
etc.
```

You’re missing a semicolon after your first variable declaration and you’ll want to check if question2.toUpperCase() === 'GREEN'. Could these things be the answer? I haven’t actually checked what the challenge is asking for.
