Task 1 is no longer passing.

Hello, I just started the basic python function and at the ins & outs quiz it asks me to: 1.) create a variable called name with your name in it 2.) create a variable called treehouse combining strings "Tree" and "house" in it. 3.) create a variable called email_greeting combining variables treehouse, string "loves" and variable name in it.

And my code looks like this:

name = "Lovre" treehouse = "Tree" + "house" email_greeting = treehouse "loves" name

now it's fine until Task 3, when I put the last task in it says, bummer, bla bla, and when I try something like: email_greeting = ""treehouse" + loves + "name"" then it gives me, oops Task 1 is no longer passing, or email_greeting = treehouse + "loves" + name, same thing, could anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

You have to used the defined variables in task 1 and 2, and also add blank spaces before and after "loves"

email_greeting = treehouse + " loves " + name

This does not work for me. The code looks correct, but still tells me "task 1 is no longer passing."

Ah okay thank you very much, but why does there have to be spaces in a normal string tho, also I edited the question I did indeed use treehouse with non capital t in the tasks.

If there are no spaces then the string would look like this.

Ah no but I meant on the spaces inside of the string " loves ".

Owen you made a mistake somewhere else in the code, when it says usually task 1 is no longer passing that means you have done something wrong in tasks before this, try to find out what, hope this helps.
